My electric bill is now $64 dollars per month!

Home Uplift has really saved me a lot. And if you can save a dollar on the front end, you can spend it wisely on the back end. EPB sent me a letter saying my electric bill had been reduced to $64 dollars. I had to call to make sure that it wasn’t a scam!

Ezra Harris

Home Uplift provided Mr. Harris with a new central heat and air unit, a water heater, dryer duct, insulation and smoke detectors in 2022.
