"The City is thrilled to be able to offer free Home Energy Squad visits to residents through a grant the city received from Clean Energy Resource Teams. Most homes use a lot of energy, so this program is a great way to understand how your home is using energy and see if there are opportunities for saving. Home Energy Squad offers expert advice that will hopefully save residents money in the long run, while also helping the City achieve our ambitious energy goals by increasing energy efficiency!” -Kayla Kirtz, Sustainability Coordinator

Whether you’re new to your home, or have lived there for decades, Home Energy Squad can help you reduce energy waste and improve comfort. To schedule an appointment for a Home Energy Squad visit, call 651-328-6220 or visit www.mncee.org/robbinsdale?energy-audits.
