GreenDeed – An Energy Efficiency Upgrade Program for Deed-Restricted Homes
The Town of Crested Butte and the Town of Mt. Crested Butte are offering the GreenDeed program to deed-restricted properties within their city limits. Could your deed restricted home or long-term rental property benefit from free energy efficiency upgrades to make your home more comfortable and reduce your utility costs? GreenDeed covers assessment costs and full energy efficiency upgrades to help you keep your home affordable and comfortable. Energy efficiency upgrades can range from lightbulb changes and air-sealing to insulation upgrades and more.
- Cost to participate in the program is $50 to be paid towards the assessment. After that, the program will cover the remainder of the assessment, report, and upgrades for each home, up to a total of $5,000.
- Please see here a Frequently Asked Questions handout on the GreenDeed program.
- Applications for GreenDeed will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. The sooner you enroll, the sooner you will be served off of a waitlist.
