Weatherization & Home Repair
Simply having a home isn't enough. Not for us.
Nevadans should live in safe, healthy, energy-efficient homes, regardless of their income level or access to resources. From the installation of carbon monoxide alarms to insulation of water heaters and pipes — these are just a few of the awesome things we do for rural Nevadans.
The results: clients save money on their utility bills and life becomes a little more sustainable ... in more ways than one!
