Homeowners Should Ensure Their Furnaces Are Operating Efficiently

From the City of Woodbury:

Winter is right around the corner. This is the time homeowners should ensure their furnaces are operating efficiently. There are resources available to help prepare.

The Woodbury Housing and Redevelopment Authority offers low-interest loans to help property owners with remodeling and repair of their homes.

To be eligible, a property must be valued at or below $390,000 with a household income of less than $126,000. Replacing an old furnace with a newer model may result in immediate cost savings from enhanced energy efficiency. The Neighborhood Reinvestment Fund has a broad range of eligible uses and can help pay for adding insulation to a home, updating windows and more.
