​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The Whole Home Energy and Repairs Division can help you make critical repairs and enhancements to your​ home that can lower your family’s monthly utility bills and help you maintain a safe, comfortable and accessible home.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​We offer a range of programs designed to help Maryland residents make crucial home upgrades. These can include upgrading to energy-efficient appliances, repairing or replacing heating and cooling systems, replacing insulation, adding accessibility features for seniors or those with special needs, removing lead paint, upgrading plumbing, and addressing structural and maintenance issues.
