Dan HoganSince 1982, TEP has been helping low-income residents reduce their energy expenses through the installation of improved insulation, upgraded cooler motors and other such “weatherization” improvements to their homes. How much do these upgrades cost? Who is eligible? And what are some of the other innovative TEP partnerships that help to sponsor energy conservation workshops? Dan provides us with answers to these questions and more – all to improve energy efficiencies in our community. This show made possible due to the generous support of Tucson Electric Power.
