[Music] Edina residents can schedule a free home energy squad visit in April. Home Energy Squad provided by Excel Energy and Center Point Energy and delivered by the Center for Energy and Environment helps residents living in 1 to four unit homes identify ways to save energy with a personalized home assessment. They will install energy saving materials and inspect insulation, heating and cooling systems, and the water heater. Materials they might install include LED light bulbs, door and attic hatch, weather stripping, programmable or smart thermostat, and high efficiency water fixtures. The cost for a home energy squad visit is typically reduced to $50 for Edina residents, but visits scheduled in April will be free as part of work toward completing the goals of the city's climate action plan. Edina residents should sign up for the home energy squad because it's a tailored solution to their home, helping them identify energy efficiency upgrades. There's a lot of benefits beyond just the climate and environmental benefit. they'll be able to see their energy bills and their energy use go down and so another financial benefit for them. And then we also just see energy efficiency improves comfort in the home. A better insulated, better weatherized home is more comfortable than one that's very drafty.
