We want you bring to your attention to an amazing program that focuses on providing income-eligible Franklin County residents with upgrades and repairs to make homes more energy efficient. The program is called the Residential Energy Efficiency Program offered by MORPC (the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission).
Eligibility is offered to all those whose income is equal to 2x or less of the federal poverty guidelines. Based on eligibility, customers may receive the following services at no cost:
- Repair or replacement of furnaces and water heaters
- Attic and sidewall insulation
- Air sealing
- Replacement of refrigerators, freezers, and light bulbs with more efficient models
The application takes about two minutes to complete and is available right here. (They’ll get in touch with you to go over eligibility so don’t hesitate to give it a try even if you don’t know whether you’re eligible.)
These programs are provided at no cost to income-eligible clients thanks to funding from Columbia Gas of Ohio’s WarmChoice program, Ohio Development Services Agency’s Home Weatherization Assistance Program, and AEP Ohio’s Community Assistance Program.
The program is available all year to Franklin County residents.
