Is Your Refrigerator Running? We Can Help!

Nothing is worse than seeing your food spoil when you’re on a tight budget – unless it’s a staggering electric bill. LCCAA can help!

Community Connections is available to Ohio Edison customers who think their refrigerators or freezers are using more energy than they should.

If our auditor determines your appliance is not working properly, it can be replaced for free. The program also offers energy efficient light bulbs for all fixtures in the client’s home and, in some cases, carbon monoxide detectors.

To be eligible, clients must reside in Lorain County and live at or below 200 percent of the Federal Poverty Line AND be a customer of Ohio Edison. If you are currently a HEAP or PIPP participant, you may be qualified.

Renters can qualify if they own the appliances. Verification and a waiver of liability from the landlord is required.

As long as the threat of spreading COVID-19 remains, we are taking extra measures of care when we visit your home to audit and/or replace your appliances and lightbulbs.

Our auditor will:

Visit only one home per day.

Wear a mask and booties.

Clean anything he touches.

Our office will call you prior to your appointment to verify you are not exhibiting any COVID-19 symptoms.

Learn more and find out if you qualify by contacting Colette Park at 440-204-3151 or cpark@lccaa. net.
