If your home needs certain repairs or improvements, we may be able to help you.

During our visit, we may be able to also give you an energy kit with items to help you stay warm.
Once we give the okay for work to be done, we arrange for others to come do the work. Work may be done by firms that focus on taking steps that make your house warmer, like adding insulation. Others may be called in to help with the job, including plumbers, electricians and folks who work on heating and cooling units.
When the work is complete, we make sure that it is top quality. We also make sure you know how to use new items and get warranties for them.
While we can help you get repairs so your house stays warmer, we don’t offer general repairs for homes. If you need repairs, there are some other places you can try to get help listed below.
