Safe, Healthy, and Affordable Homes for All

Groundwork Denver’s Home Energy Efficiency Program helps families lower utility bills, stay safe and comfortable in every season, and reduce their environmental impact. Since 2015, we’ve provided thousands of households with free, energy-saving services like energy and safety assessments, weatherization, appliance upgrades, and education to help neighbors stay safe and healthy in their most immediate environment: their own homes.

Services are available at no cost to income-qualified residents. This is made possible through funding from partners including City and County of Denver’s Human Rights and Community Partnerships Department, Energy Outreach Colorado, and Xcel Energy.
