Homes must be Single Story or Two Story with both top and bottom floors having the same shape. All homes must be 2300 square feet or less.
The work that is done includes items such as sealing air leaks in heating and cooling duct work, attic and crawlspace. Installing programmable thermostats, carbon monoxide detectors and attic insulation. Installing high-efficiency shower-heads and faucet aerators.
