Are you renting a home in Maryland and struggling with high electric bills this summer? You’re not alone! Many renters in our state live in older, less energy efficient homes. This means they use more electricity than newer homes.
High energy bills could be due to an old AC in need of repair. It could also be because poor insulation and air leaks in your home force your AC to run more often to compensate. As a renter, you might feel stuck with high energy bills, but the good news is there are ways to lower your electric bill.
CAC’s weatherization assistance program offers numerous services to provide energy savings and improved comfort, not just in the summer but year-round! The program is available for both homeowners and renters statewide and upgrades are made at no cost. Keep reading to learn what’s included in this program and how renters can improve their homes.
