Sign up for an energy audit
Every year, the average American spends $450 on energy wasted through holes and cracks in their home. ClimateSmart's non-profit partner the Center for Resource Conservation (CRC) has partnered with Xcel Energy to offer low-cost energy audits. An energy audit breaks down your home's energy usage and gives you a personalized set of recommendations to lower your energy bill. Contact the CRC to to sign up.
