How the Energy Alliance program for homeowners works

Homeowners Save Money, Live More Comfortably & Conserve Energy

The Energy Alliance helps homeowners and non-profit organizations identify ways to save money, live more comfortably and conserve energy through an energy assessment – a process that determines measures to reduce utility bills. The average home energy improvement is estimated to save the homeowner 20 percent or more on monthly energy bills.

Energy Assessments - Save Money & Energy
Much more than a simple walk-through, this 3 to 5 hour comprehensive assessment performed by an Energy Alliance-approved contractor examines air leaks, mechanical equipment performance and safety, insulation levels and air quality. Normally a $400 to $500 cost, the Energy Alliance is able to offer this service for $50 to eligible homeowners in Hamilton, Boone, Kenton and Campbell counties for a limited time. (The $50 cost is reimbursable when investing in a home energy improvement.)

Home Energy Incentives - Save 35% on Energy-Saving Upgrades
The Energy Alliance’s grant funding provides an incentive of up to 35 percent to reduce the cost of each measure on the energy assessment report. In addition, the Energy Alliance also offers low interest loans, financing programs and connects homeowners to other available federal, state and utility incentives. No income restrictions apply.

Determine Investments that Save the Most
The energy assessment identifies measures to reduce utility bills, the cost of each improvement and the return on investment (through energy savings) starting with those that have the highest impact per dollar. Typical measures can include adding or replacing insulation, sealing air drafts and upgrading to high efficiency furnaces.

Work With Qualified Contractors - Save Time & Ensure Quality

The Energy Alliance saves time and ensures quality by providing project management services and a list of professionally certified and insured contractors. All home performance professionals are certified by the Building Performance Institute, a leading nonprofit organization that provides standards for energy efficiency professionals. The Energy Alliance routinely performs quality assurance testing on all approved contractors to ensure the highest quality work.

Norwood Health Dept. featured in Enquirer article

Yesterday’s Enquirer had an in depth article about the pros and cons of consolidating Hamilton County’s six remaining independent health departments, although of the much focus was on the possible merger of the Cincinnati and Hamilton County departments. Enquirer reporter Barry Horstman did some of his research for the article by attending a Norwood Health Commission meeting, interviewing Norwood Health Commissioner Pamela Walker-Bauer, and accompanying NHD nurse Chandra Corbin on one of her regular home visits to check on Norwood resident Marsha Lingo. (A picture of Chandra and Ms. Lingo appears with the article.) Here’s an exerpt that quotes Ms. Lingo:

Marsha Lingo, 55, left largely bedridden by a stroke, describes her regular home check-ups from Norwood nurse Chandra Corbin as "a visit from a friend I look forward to" each week.

"Without her, I'd probably be in a cemetery," said Lingo, for whom Corbin's visits briefly expand a world largely limited to the bed pushed against a wall in her small living room where she spends nearly every hour, awake and asleep. "I describe it as like having an angel on my shoulder."

As most Norwoodians know, the Norwood Health Department, which operates on a shoestring budget like most of City departments, was at risk of being closed in favor of a contract with Hamilton County Public Health nearly 3 years ago. In the end, City Council voted to keep NHD, in large part because many of the current services would be either lost completely or greatly diminished. Mr. Horstman cites the fact that contracting Norwood Health Department services would negatively affect 16 of the 23 services NHD provides to the community. Click here to see which 16 services would be impacted.
