Ameren Missouri announced an additional $1 million in weatherization assistance, a program that provides energy-saving home improvements at no cost for qualifying homeowners and renters.
This year, the company has provided over $2 million to support weatherization improvements, including caulking, weather stripping, water heater jackets, insulation and more, which includes labor and materials.
Ameren Missouri enhances weatherization program
Guidelines for eligibility include household incomes up to 200% of the federal poverty level. For example, a four-person household with income up to $5,200 monthly is eligible to apply.
“Customers in need of assistance can take advantage of these funds right away to upgrade their living spaces and start saving on their energy costs,” said Page Selby, Manager of Customer Advocacy for Ameren Missouri, adding “We also encourage customers to apply for our energy assistance programs for additional support.”
Keeping Current - payment assistance program
Keeping Current is a payment assistance program offered by Ameren Missouri
Keeping Current is a payment assistance program offered by Ameren Missouri that helps make paying energy bills more affordable. It includes a monthly bill credit between $35 and $90, along with help to reduce the total amount owed. Eligibility guidelines are the same as weatherization, so customers can participate in both.
Participants in Ameren Missouri’s Keeping Current program, along with elderly and disabled persons, are given preference for the company’s weatherization assistance program. The maximum assistance, including labor and materials, varies depending on the project.
