Never before has there been such a coordinated, national, regional and local focus on protecting our precious environment and preserving our natural resources.  From federal environmental policies, tax credits and stimulus dollars to local building codes, renewable resources and energy efficiency, the Home Energy Solutions Program addresses the key elements in achieving a sustainable, energy efficient America.

The HES Program is a valuable tool administered by Connecticut utility companies to help us use energy wisely and do so at little or no cost.  It is a wonderful and easy first step that all Connecticut residents can take.  Let CRI get you started with HES. 

This is an excellent opportunity to help our country reduce its dependence on foreign oil and cut back on the use of our limited fossil fuel resources.  Go beyond the HES Program and do your part to help America GO GREEN!

CRI recommends the following resources for your further review. These links will take you to some very useful web sites that can further your efforts to understand the best practices to go green in your home.
