OAKLAND COUNTY, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) - Some Oakland County residents can improve their home's energy efficiency for free.

The county spent $5 million in American Rescue Plan Money to help at least 1,000 low-income families cut their energy costs.

Qualified homeowners will get $5,000 worth of improvements. If you are above the income threshold, you can still get credit toward your project.

"Dependent on their need, it could be a high-efficiency furnace, high-efficiency boiler, air conditioner water heater, heat-pumps, windows and doors that have energy star requirements, and insulation as well," Todd Parker, vice president of Michigan Saves said.

The program launches in January 2024.
