Emergency Home Repairs

Since 2007 with funding from The Colorado Trust’s Healthy Aging Initiative, RTMD has helped over 250 low income homeowners who are left without heat, water or electricity. Emergency Repairs include:

• Burst or blocked pipes
• Furnace repairs
• Water heater repairs
• Electrical work
  

In 2010 Emergency Home Repairs continue to be primarily funded by The Colorado Trust with support from EnCana Oil & Gas (USA), as well as donations of skilled plumbers, electricians, HVAC professionals and gifts from individuals.

Energy Efficiency Initiative

In March 2010, RTMD officially kicked off the Energy Efficiency Intiative in an exciting new partnership with Denver Water. Over the next year, volunteers and staff will:

• Complete 200 water audits on homes we serve in Denver
• Install water saving devices:
• Sink aerators
• Low-flow showerheads
• High efficiency toilets

On Rebuilding Day in April each of the 22 homes will receive energy efficient upgrades including CFL light bulbs, water heater blankets, pipe insulation, new furnace filters and adjusted water heater temperatures.

All of these measures can save our homeowners up to 10% on their monthly utility costs!
