Why It's Important
With more people visiting and moving to our community, we are experiencing an increased demand for natural gas that may surpass the current system capabilities. Join us in saving energy at your home to potentially avoid future natural gas infrastructure projects and help keep your bills low.
Start Saving
High Country Conservation Center’s Energy Smart Colorado program makes it easy for you to understand how your home uses energy. When you sign up for an energy assessment, our local team of energy experts will contact you to schedule and conduct your home visit. You will receive an extensive report with recommendations for energy upgrades that will keep your home comfortable and running efficiently. We will help you decide on top priorities for energy savings and the projects that best fit your budget. And we have rebates to help you pay for upgrades.
Homeowners who complete home energy efficiency projects save an average of over $400 each year on their energy bills.
