Dominion EnergyShare Program Marks 1-Year Anniversary by Weatherizing Vet's Home

FAIRFAX COUNTY, VA -- Last fall, Dominion committed $57 million through 2019 to provide more bill assistance and long-term energy efficiency improvements for qualified customers, with a special focus on helping military veterans and people with disabilities.

Dominion, Operation Renewed Hope Foundation and Community Housing Partners celebrated the one-year anniversary Thursday by weatherizing a single family house with an attached in-law suite that is home to two veterans in Fairfax County.

Dominion volunteers and energy experts installed LED light bulbs, low flow showerheads and insulation; tuned-up the AC system; sealed ducts; and applied weather stripping and caulk to windows and doors.

Neighborhood residents will also receive energy efficiency kits and have the opportunity to learn about home energy-saving techniques from the experts.
