Free home energy kits available

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) - The Energy Assistance office in Terre Haute is giving out a free energy saving kit for those who already qualify for energy assistance.

The kits also include a self-stick door sweep to prevent drafts from cracks under doors. An LED night light comes with the kit as well. The night light has a sensor, and is only activated when the room is dark.

Folks getting the kit can also save with a low flow showerhead. The showerhead saves consumers water as well as the energy required to heat the water.
