Energizing Ohio Homes 

The Corporation for Ohio Appalachian Development (COAD) has been the national leader in home energy audits, energy efficiency upgrades, and whole house weatherization for over 30 years. Our experience and partnerships with government entities and utilities has proven successful in gaining a pilot project Called “Energizing Ohio Homes” in Athens, Ohio. With sponsorship by the Ohio Department of Development and Ohio Partners for Affordable Energy our expert Energy Ambassadors have the opportunity to provide over 150 free home energy assessments.

COAD will be hosting a workshop at the Athens Library on May 31st, 2012 at 6:00pm for energy saving tips and customer assessment sign ups. Assessments will consist of identifying potential opportunities for comfort and energy improvements in your home by a trained Energy Assessor. Solar Site Assessments can be made available for those interested in the potential for renewable energy in their home. Customers will receive information on utility rebate programs, local contractor resources, and access to available low interest financing.

Our Energy Ambassadors are available to host sessions at your organization for small groups to register for Walk Through Energy Assessments if requested.
