&lt;p&gt;Energizing Indiana offers free home energy assessments to those who apply. An Energy Advisor will visit your home to perform the assessment. You&amp;#39;ll receive step-by-step guidance; energy saving products, such as CFL bulbs, low-flow faucet aerators &amp;amp; shower heads, and insulation for your water heater; and a comprehensive report detailing additional ways to make your home more energy efficient.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This service is free, and the library Foundation will receive $25 for every energy assessment conducted through EVPL.&lt;/strong&gt; Reduce your energy costs while helping our library Foundation!&lt;/p&gt;
