With temperatures heating up along with higher power supply prices, Ameren Illinois is encouraging customers to explore opportunities to save energy and money through a program they offer called the Energy Efficiency Program.  One of those programs is the Home Efficiency Income Qualified Initiative or HEIQ. The HEIQ can qualify customers to receive a free Home Energy Assessment which can help identify areas where the home is losing energy. They also offer cost-effective ways to upgrade the home, possibly at no cost to the homeowner. 

Ameren Illinois is also working with Warn Neighbors Cool Friends, a program that offers Ameren Illinois customers a chance to receive grant funding to help lessen the costs of air sealing, insulation or HVAC-related upgrades in their homes.  If you install upgraded systems in your home, studies have shown that it can help increase efficiency and offer long-term energy savings.  

The HEIQ initiative is available to residential Ameren Illinois customers who live in a single-family home and meet the income qualifications.  To participate, customers must confirm eligibility by filling out an application and meeting with an Energy Advisor who will then discuss a plan for implementing any measures discussed with the customer.
