Joe Kerigan, our Energy Director and all-around good guy, gave a brief presentation to residents at Springfield Housing Authority's Saab Court complex this morning. Joe passed out energy saving lightbulbs to everyone in attendance and explained how these lightbulbs not only save money, but keep rooms cooler. Here is a nice shot of Joe on the right, explaining the weatherization process to Governor Deval Patrick last summer at a home in Springfield. Looking on is one of our energy contractors.
Joe and his staff provide energy saving workshops to interested groups throughout the city. We also weatherize homes throughout Hampden County. Anyone interested should first contact New England Farm Workers to determine eligibility for fuel assistance. Anyone outside of Springfield should contact the Valley Oppoutnity Council about the same eligibility process. That makes a homeowner or tenant eligible for our services and we then use a priority list to provide weatherization services. Weatherization services can save more than $300 a year on a home's utility bills.
