Energize the Elm City

The City of New Haven, a 2026 Energize Connecticut Community Partner℠, is excited
to launch the Energize the Elm City campaign, which encourages participation in the
Home Energy Solutions℠ and Home Energy Solutions – Income Eligible℠
programs, supported by the Sponsors of Energize CT.

The City of New Haven works with community partners to educate residents on the
benefits of residential weatherization and connect eligible households with valuable
energy-saving services. We are excited to partner with New England Smart Energy
(NESE), an authorized contractor for the Energize CT programs, to bring energy-saving
improvements to New Haven residents in homes of 1 to 4 units.

Homeowners or renters with their landlord’s permission can participate. NESE provides
home energy assessments and follow-up weatherization services that help New Haven
residents lower energy usage, save money, and improve home comfort and safety.

During your assessment, NESE will evaluate your home’s energy performance and offer
personalized, energy-saving opportunities. They will also conduct a blower door test to
identify air leaks, along with important health and safety checks. The visit ends with a
summary of findings and recommendations for energy-saving upgrades.

This service is offered at no cost to income-eligible residents and is available to all
other residents for a small co-pay. The average value of the products and services
provided is $1,000, and participating households save up to $70-$100 per year on
energy bills—with even greater savings when follow-up insulation is completed.
