 The Energy Resource Center helps income-qualified people stay warm and safe. Many people have difficulty with high heating costs, poorly operating furnaces and inadequate insulation in their homes. ERC helps to repair furnaces and weatherize homes to lower energy costs. Lives are saved by preventing carbon monoxide poisoning.
Our energy conservation programs, which help make eligible person’s homes more energy efficient by providing weatherization, furnace and insulation services are primarily funded by the Governor’s Energy Office weatherization program and the U.S. Department of Energy Denver Regional Office. Several other generous contributors allow us to run complimentary programs to help even more people. Colorado Springs Utilities funds the HEAP program that provides energy and water-saving measures, Pikes Peak United Way funds a furnace crisis program, and El Paso County provides TANF dollars to help families in need. The Energy Resource Center is a truly collaborative effort to keep local people warm and safe! Please see the qualifications section for information on how to qualify for services.
