The Energy Co-op has over 2,000 members in Vermont. Over the years we’ve got to know many of them as they made improvements to their heating systems, called to schedule fuel deliveries, requested an energy audit or asked us to repair their furnaces. Here’s a sampling of our member's energy and money saving success stories.

Over the past four years, Connie Norona and her son, Charlie, have cut their oil use from 650 to 400 gallons. They are saving about $850 a year. Here's how they did it.

Rob Apple
Montpelier, Vermont

In 2010, Rob Apple used 1,200 gallons of oil a year and his 150 year-old Montpelier home was leaking like a sieve, so his contractors focused on sealing air leaks and adding insulation.
