Town of Branford is a tax-exempt government organization, Tax ID 06-6001964.
The Branford HeatSmart/Solar Campaign is a volunteer initiative to educate residents about energy efficiency and solar panels. The expected result is that residents will increase their home’s energy efficiency, save money, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We are also sharing guidance on how to access financial and tax incentives.

WHAT WE'RE DOING
This campaign consists of four stages.
1. FREE home energy audit with a Home Energy Solutions (HES) inspection: An authorized contractor will come to your home and will evaluate and upgrade your home’s energy efficiency and make recommendations (e.g. install weatherization measures and energy-saving improvements). Visit HeatSmartBranfordCT.org for more information.
This Branford house has solar PV panels installed on 3 different roofs.
Save money and get clean energy!
Branford residents currently have a great opportunity to have a free Home Energy Solutions audit through December 31st, 2020. The results of the audit will include solutions that residents can implement to reduce their energy consumption. Many of the solutions will have rebates and/or federal tax credits that will be bring down their purchase and installation costs. Save money and get cleaner energy!Sustainable CT has generously agreed to match every dollar donated!
