Sustainable Works is working with ARRA stimulus funding to make affordable audits and retrofits available to Shoreline residents. They have already completed 100's of these projects for homeowners in Edmonds, Lynwood, Seattle and Spokane. 


Energy Audits only cost $95. This discounted cost is underwritten by SW with the ARRA Grants.
