Healthy Homes

Health and Safety

EcoWorks Detroit focuses on health and safety by improving housing conditions, reducing environmental and health risks, and enhancing community resilience. Through energy assessments, EcoWorks identifies and addresses hazards like poor air quality, lead contamination, and plumbing inefficiencies. These efforts not only make homes safer but also more energy-efficient, lowering utility costs. Their programs also support climate resilience, particularly in areas prone to extreme weather, by promoting sustainable infrastructure.

Education plays a key role in their approach, with resources like workshops and DIY energy-saving tools empowering residents to make their homes safer and healthier. EcoWorks also advocates for policies that ensure equitable access to safe, affordable housing, further improving community health outcomes.

Trusted Contractor

Finding a Contractor

EcoWorks Detroit helps homeowners connect with trusted, certified contractors for energy efficiency and home improvement projects. Whether it’s installing energy-efficient appliances, repairing plumbing, or weatherizing your home, EcoWorks guides you in selecting professionals who meet environmental and safety standards. They provide referrals to vetted contractors, offer advice on choosing the right professional for your project, and ensure that contractors have the necessary experience. EcoWorks also connects you with available incentives and funding programs to support your project, with case management services to assist you throughout the process.

Homeowners searching for contractors to help with electrification are often met with conflicting advice or outdated information. The City of Ann Arbor has partnered with Michigan Saves to create an Electrification Badging program to help homeowners find contractors who are well-versed in electrification, solar, and efficiency. To earn the badge, contractors must do five training modules and continuing education. You can search for “Electrification” in the Contractor Locator and look for the badge by their name. Learn more about the Michigan Saves home electrification program on their Residential Electrification webpage. “
