About the Energy Makeover

Transforming Homes, Transforming Lives

Your cooperative is partnering with churches and non-profits to help meet the complex challenges of our time. These organizations have been helping individuals pay their utility bills through benevolence funds. The Energy Makeover initiative will help not by paying the utility bill but by fixing the problem and lowering bills through weatherization procedures.

Leadership and training resources involved with this initiative will be provided by your cooperative, and the churches / non profits will provide the labor. This will also allow individuals who can’t pay their bills, or just simply can’t perform the energy efficiency measures to have a resource that can help them lower their monthly usage resulting in a lower utility bill.

Sign your church up for the Energy Makeover program.
