The CARE program is an energy efficiency home-improvement program available in Lake County to income-qualified homeowners and tenants. In 2016, Cloud City Conservation helped improve 26 homes with an average annual savings on utility bills of $386!
Improvements may include a new Energy-Star refrigerator, LED lights, insulation, and air sealing, and more!
Thanks to our friends at Energy Outreach Colorado
and XCEL Energy for making this program possible.
