Our trained Volunteers and staff provide free energy-efficiency weatherization services, assessments, and retrofits for low-income households in Buncombe County, NC and some surrounding areas (Henderson and Haywood counties) to reduce your energy bills. We have served over 1,200 homes without charging a penny because our funds come from Duke Energy, grants, private donations, and the good work of our volunteer corps. We can also provide our clients with educational resources and referrals to more extensive home repair services (health and safety repairs, appliance replacement, and heating and cooling system repairs) through the Helping Home Fund, but only after you are served by us. To learn more about what we do please check out our About page.

If you are a resident of Buncombe County, Henderson County, or Haywood County with limited income and have high energy bills, we are here for you. If there’s an issue we can’t fix, we might be able to find the help you need.
