Minneapolis Offering Free Home Energy Squad Visits

The days are getting colder (there's even been snow reported in parts of Minnesota this fall) and you'll want to make sure your home is as energy efficient as possible before the first heating bill arrives.

The city of Minneapolis is offering free Home Energy Squad visits to income-qualified Minneapolis households while funds last.

Visits are available for $70 to Minneapolis households over the income limit, according to the Kingfield Neighborhood Association.

The Home Energy Squad visits bring energy efficiency experts to residents' homes to install energy-saving materials and make recommendations on energy-saving upgrades.

More than 9,000 Minneapolis households have already benefitted from the program, officials say.

For a limited time, the city of Minneapolis also offers financing to Minneapolis participants making insulation and air sealing upgrades recommended by the Home Energy Squad. There is no income limit for this offer.
