Worried about ice dams again this winter? Community Energy Services workshops and home consultant visits can tell you what to do to prevent ice dams and also achieve energy savings.
To get started you must attend a CES workshop and then sign up for the $30 home consultant visit. The consultants audit your current energy use, install a number of energy saving devices (up to $400 worth depending on your home), and develop a prioritized plan for energy improvements in your home. CES will also provide information about current rebates and tax credits for your energy improvements.
