TOLEDO -- Columbia Gas has a goal in mind to save you money by lowering your energy consumption by 30% a year or hundreds of dollars in savings. All you have to remember is the "Home Performance Solutions" program.

With the audit, a crew comes out to determine air leakage through a blower door and sub-par insulation with the help of infrared cameras. Dangerous gas leaks, like carbon monoxide, can also be discovered.

The audit costs $50 up front. But the amount can be reimbursed if the Columbia customer implements any of the recommended energy efficient upgrades. Also, rebates on air sealing, attic and wall insulation, and high efficiency gas furnaces and boilers are also available

As part of the audit, you will receive programmable thermostats and high-efficiency showerheads for free. If you are a Columbia Gas customer and want an audit call 1-877-644-6674 or visit ColumbiaGasOhio.com/HPS.
