HOME ENERGY SOLUTIONS - WEB SITE LOCATION!!
The winter heating season is here. Now is the time for CL&P and Yankee Gas customers who heat with electric or natural gas to take advantage of Home Energy Solutions, a free program for electric and natural gas customers in Connecticut. The program provides participants with advanced weatherization and duct sealing and installation of other energy-saving technologies (compact fluorescent bulbs).

CL&P HOME ENERGY AUDIT--
Today's household appliances, while more energy efficient than in years past, still consume more power, even in their standby modes, and as their size grows — like the increasingly popular large-screen TVs — so can their annual energy costs. As more consumers try to cut escalating electricity costs tied to rising oil prices, CL&P recommends looking into an energy audit. The company's Home Energy Solutions provides a free audit for its gas and electric customers, and charges $300 for the audit for those who buy electricity and gas elsewhere.
