Faith Communities Energy Challenge

For every Home Energy Solutions audit completed by a parishioner or their referral, HCP donates $25 to your house of worship. Milestone Bonuses of $625 are added at 25, 50, 75, and 100 completed audits, plus a Super Bonus at 100 - for a total goal of $7,500 (or more).

A comprehensive in-home energy assessment by utility-certified experts. It includes same-day air sealing and weatherization, a detailed energy report, and qualification for every available rebate and incentive for insulation, windows, and HVAC upgrades.

The standard Home Energy Solutions program requires a $40 copay. If your household qualifies as income-eligible, the audit and all weatherization services are completely no-cost.

Yes. Each friend you refer triggers a $25 donation to your parish when their audit is completed. Share the challenge with other parishioners, neighbors, and friends across Connecticut so they can save on utilities and help your parish earn donations.

Qualified parishioners, friends, and family with combined gross annual income below the state's 60 percent median income receive their audit at no cost through the HES-IE program. Income-eligible households also receive the most advantageous incentives, with approved insulation projects qualifying for up to 75-100% off the total cost.

Contact HCP at (203) 457-3838 to register your parish for the Energy Challenge. Once enrolled, every completed audit by a parishioner or referral triggers the donation to your house of worship.

The Faith Communities Energy Challenge runs as a 10-week campaign. Contact HCP at (203) 457-3838 for current challenge dates and to confirm your parish is enrolled before scheduling audits.

Through the HES program, families reduce their electric, cooling, and heating bills by upgrading insulation, sealing air leaks, and improving HVAC efficiency. The sponsors of Energize Connecticut provide the resources to save money and use clean energy.
