Keeping warm in North Collinwood

In anticipation of new funding becoming available in 2011, now is the ideal time to submit your application and all relevant supporting documentation to determine your eligibility for the Dominion East Ohio Housewarming Program. The program is designed to assist low-income Dominion consumers with maintaining warmth in their homes while concurrently employing energy-efficient methods that will result in a markedly noticeable difference on your Dominion utility bill. Services will be provided to both homeowners and tenants who fall within the specified income guidelines. Such services consist of:

• Safety assessment of your furnace, hot water tank and electrical box
• Installation of carbon monoxide alarm
• Furnace maintenance or replacement contingent to the condition of your existing furnace
• Insulation in attic/sidewalls
• Minimal repair/replacement of damaged windows within reason
• Consumer education regarding energy efficient practices

Individuals who have been deemed eligible for utility assistance programs such as (HEAP) Home Energy Assistance Program and PIPP (Percentage of Income Payment Plan) would also fall within the income guidelines for the Housewarming Program. To acquire an application and additional information regarding the necessary supporting documents, contact me, Mr. Shannon D. Harney, Housing Programs Coordinator/Property Manager at Northeast Shores Development Corporation (216) 481-7660 x31.
