By Kathleen O. Brown<\/p>\n

For Leicester resident Tonya Lawrence, the home energy efficiency work that Asheville-based Energy Savers Network (ESN) provides for free has great personal significance. As part of its ongoing partnership with Duke Energy, ESN earlier this year provided Lawrence with energy efficiency upgrades that would have cost her thousands of dollars. Upgrades to her home included an HVAC heat pump replacement, insulation installation, and window and door home repairs\u2014work that resulted in a 21 percent reduction in air leakage in her home.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am so thankful for Energy Savers Network,\u201d Lawrence says. \u201cThey weatherized my house, did much needed structural repairs including duct work and window repair and also installed a new HVAC system. I am a cancer survivor still going through chemo treatments and can only work part-time. This help was huge in my life. My light bill went down $200 a month. Everyone was so nice and helpful. I am eternally grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n

ESN\u2019s upgrades at Lawrence\u2019s home also mark a milestone for the nonprofit, representing the completion of weatherization services for its 1,500th home. In collaboration with Duke Energy\u2019s Income-Qualified Weatherization Program, ESN provides comprehensive energy efficiency upgrades at no cost to eligible homeowners in Buncombe, Haywood, Henderson and Madison counties.<\/p>\n

Duke Energy\u2019s program is designed to help income-eligible customers save energy and money. From sealing air leaks to upgrading old appliances, the program strives to make energy efficiency accessible to everyone, regardless of financial standing. The program also provides access to health and safety home repairs.<\/p>\n

Since its founding in 2016, ESN has been working to help reduce utility bills and improve people\u2019s overall quality of life by mobilizing volunteers and professionals to provide energy efficiency services to those who need them most. By focusing on weatherization and replacing faulty or inefficient equipment, the nonprofit works to reduce electric utility expenses for households in Western North Carolina and thus help the community become more sustainable and equitable.<\/p>\n

According to the ESN, residential energy consumption is the fourth largest use of energy in the US\u2014with a third of it wasted. \u201cEconomic relief and environmental stewardship aren\u2019t mutually exclusive,\u201d ESN board member Jim Tolbert says. \u201cAt ESN, they are deeply interconnected. Every household we serve doesn\u2019t just lower a family\u2019s utility bill\u2014it lowers our community\u2019s carbon footprint. We are helping the climate by helping our neighbors.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to weatherizing 1,500 homes, ESN\u2019s work includes carrying out significant mechanical and structural upgrades and home repairs. Working alongside a team of contractors, the nonprofit has upgraded 90 HVAC systems with heat pumps that reduce energy use by up to 75 percent and has upgraded 10 electric water heaters with heat pumps that reduce energy use by up to 60 percent. ESN also has completed 30 insulation upgrades to improve comfort and reduce energy use and has performed 114 home repair projects to improve health and safety.<\/p>\n

In addition to engaging professionals for the work, ESN director of operations Steffi Rausch says volunteers play a key role, and the nonprofit is actively seeking more volunteer assistance. \u201cVolunteers do a number of energy-saving measures like changing out light bulbs with LEDs, caulking and foam spraying gaps under sinks where plumbing lines come into the house, sealing air ducts with mastic, installing water aerators, sealing up window AC units and insulating water heaters and their pipes,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe more experienced volunteers might do door weatherstripping if they feel comfortable working with a saw,\u201d Rausch says. \u201cThey will also see how a blower door works to find the air leaks in the home.\u201d
\nESN prefers regular volunteers who can commit to monthly or biweekly volunteering, she says, but the nonprofit will work with \u201cone-timers,\u201d too. \u201cBasically, we prefer \u2018handy\u2019 volunteers that like using tools,\u201d Rausch says. \u201cBut they don\u2019t have to be experienced\u2014just willing to learn.\u201d<\/p>\n
