TheSouth County Community Action Agency is offering no-cost energy audits and free energy conservation services such as insulation of walls and attics, window and door replacement and weather stripping and caulking for low-income homeowners and renters in South County and West Greenwich.

Similar services will be available from other community action agencies throughout the state as a result of the recent distribution by the state Office of Energy Resources of nearly $15 million in federal stimulus funds for home energy conservation.

Last year the South County community action agency said it spent $600,000 weatherizing 118 homes and replacing 21 boilers. This year it has $1.48 million in stimulus funding that will allow it to do work on at least 200 households.

Households receiving heating assistance are automatically eligible. A single person earning no more than $25,971 is eligible. Two person households may earn up to $33,962, three can earn up to $41,953, four can earn up to $49,945 and five may earn up to $57,936.

To apply, call the agency at (401) 789-3016, ext. 300.
