Program details

How it works

Home Energy Solutions – Income Eligible is listed by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection as a no-cost energy assessment and weatherization program for income-eligible households. The program provides home improvement measures intended to reduce energy use, and the state page notes that additional services can include insulation, windows, or heating and cooling systems.

What the money covers

The official Connecticut program page does not list a cash grant or rebate amount for HES-IE. Instead, it describes the program as a no-cost service with weatherization and related home improvements performed through the program.

How to apply

The state page says applicants should apply to their local utility by mail using English or Spanish forms. It also says to call 2-1-1 for the energy assistance intake site nearby and other general energy questions.

Timing and deadlines

The page does not state a deadline. It presents HES-IE as an ongoing income-eligible program.

Notes for homeowners

Although this is primarily an energy-efficiency program, some of the work overlaps with home hardening, especially insulation and envelope improvements that can help a home better resist wind-driven weather and moisture intrusion.
