Tri-CAP Weatherization Program completes 700 homes with Stimulus Funds!

Tri-CAP
January 19, 2011

As part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, Tri-County Action Program, Inc. was allocated $4.7 million dollars to complete weatherization program services on homes located in Benton, Sherburne, and Stearns Counties. These funds allow an average cost of $6,500 per home; Tri-CAP’s average cost is now approximately $5,200. We expect to provide Weatherization on approximately 825 homes by June 2011. With these funds we conduct an energy audit to determine what qualified activities are cost effective in saving energy. These activities may include wall insulation, attic insulation, air sealing, heating system replacement or improvements, and refrigerator replacements. Health and Safety items are also completed as part of this program; these items may include smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, chimney repairs, exhaust fan repair or replacement, and water heater repairs. During the 2010 calendar year we combined these stimulus funds with funds provided by local utility companies as part of their Conservation Improvement Program. Tri-CAP would like to acknowledge and thank our local utility partners: CenterPoint Energy, Connexus Energy, Melrose Municipal Electric, Stearns Electric Association, Wright-Hennepin Electric Cooperative, and Xcel Energy. Combined these partners provided approximately $335,000.00 in additional funding.

To qualify for the Weatherization Program you must complete an application for energy assistance. Applications are available at www.tricap.org/energy_programs.html or by calling 320-251-1651 or 866-571-5100.
