Energy Conservation (ECP)

During the Home Energy Assessment at Ms. Agrimson’s home, we identified an opportunity to make her home more energy‑efficient and comfortable. Her existing hot water heater was outdated and no longer operating efficiently—making it an ideal candidate for an upgrade.

Last year, Catalyst volunteers came together to make meaningful improvements to Ms. Olds’ home—installing new siding, fresh paint, and energy‑efficient windows. This month, we were honored to return and take the next step in that journey by providing her with an energy‑efficient ducted heat pump.

Until recently, Mr. Ballou’s home was very cold in the winter and uncomfortably hot in the summer. His only permanent heat source was a single baseboard heater in his bedroom

Mr Springate's story with Catalyst is a powerful example of what it means to go “deeper” in supporting community members.

Ms McCall purchased her first home in September 2024—a charming, single-level house thoughtfully modified to support her life as a quadriplegic. But as winter set in, Ms McCall was surprised by high energy bills that put a strain on her budget.
