Tips and Resources to Stay Warm This Winter!
Home heating costs are a big part of your budget. Staying warm all through this winter could be very expensive. You, as a homeowner or a renter, can be proactive in saving money and energy.
As winter approaches, the importance of effective heating systems cannot be overstated. Homeowners and renters alike can take steps to ensure their heating systems are operating efficiently, which is essential for reducing energy costs. Regular maintenance, including furnace repair, plays a crucial role in this process. By ensuring that furnaces are in good working order, residents can maximize their heating efficiency, thereby minimizing the risk of costly energy bills during the cold months. Properly functioning heating systems not only keep homes warm but also contribute to a safer and more comfortable living environment.
PCDC offered a weatherization workshop on Monday October 23rd to educate our community members on how to weatherize their homes. After the workshop, some of the attendees made appointments with our Housing Counselors to apply for Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) so they can get a grant to pay for their heating bill. They are currently accepting application until April 6, 2018.
If you would like to learn more about how you can weatherize your home or how you can apply for LIHEAP, please join us for our next upcoming weatherization workshops on:
