Xcel Energy is working with the City of St. Paul to offer home energy consultations free for low- to moderate-income residents.

Qualified professionals will visit houses and apartment units to determine what products and services are best suited for the residence.

For those who fall within income limits, the Home Energy Squad offers free products and installation, including upgraded showerheads, programmable thermostats, kitchen and bathroom faucet aerators and weather-stripping for doors and attic hatches.

Additional items are available at a discount, such as a second programmable thermostat and automatic shut-off timers for electronics.

Call 651-328-6220 for more information or visit stpaul.gov/energize.
