Furnace & Water Heater Safety & Efficiency Programs

Energy Share administers two programs funded by Energy West and MDU for their customers who have unsafe furnaces or water heaters. We have the appliance examined and either repair it if possible, or replace it with a more energy efficient model if necessary.

If you are a customer of either Energy West or Montana-Dakota Utilities, and you live in one of the counties shown below in yellow, you can contact the appropriate Human Resource Development Council (HRDC) on the list below the map to ask about applying for the Furnace and Water Heater Safety and Efficiency Program.
