Take Advantage of Heat from the Sun
Open curtains on your south-facing windows during the day to allow sunlight to naturally heat your home, and close them at night to reduce the chill you may feel from cold windows.
Gunnison, Colorado - Gunnison County Electric Association (GCEA) and the City of Gunnison awarded grant to offer insulation rebates
On July 14, 2008, the Governor's Energy Office (GEO) awarded Gunnison County Electric Association (GCEA) and the City of Gunnison a $25,000 matching grant to participate in the Insulate Colorado Program.
By forming a partnership to apply for this grant, Gunnison County Electric Association and the City of Gunnison have demonstrated their support for a regional approach to advancing Colorado's New Energy Economy. They join more than 40 local governments currently offering the Insulate Colorado program to homeowners, including Crested Butte and Mt. Crested Butte which received funds earlier this year. To date, GEO has allocated more than $416,000 in Colorado Clean Energy Funds in support of the program.
GCEA and the City of Gunnison will each match the GEO funds to implement the program. Rebates will be available to residents who hire certified contractors to install attic or exterior wall insulation and air sealing upgrades. The GEO grant will provide a 20% rebate, up to a maximum of $300 to qualified applicants. GCEA will provide an additional 5% rebate, up to a maximum of $75, for a total possible rebate of $375.
The award was made just in time to insulate your homes before winter sets in. Residents interested in making these energy efficiency improvements are encouraged to contact Vicki Spencer, Energy Use/Communications Specialist at 970-641-3520 or 1-800-726-3523 for more information.
