Sustainable Homes

What is Sustainable Homes?

Sustainable Homes helps Minneapolis homeowners identify and complete practical home energy upgrades that can improve comfort, increase efficiency, reduce energy use, and lower utility costs. The program starts with a detailed home energy assessment, a review of your past utility usage, and an evaluation of available rebates and incentives. From there, CEF recommends upgrades such as efficient heating and cooling equipment, insulation, air sealing, and efficient water heaters — then connects you with pre-vetted contractors and manages the upgrade process from start to finish.
