Choosing the Right Contractor 

City Utilities is trying to help you get started saving energy and water by providing a list of contractors who meet basic consumer protection criteria for hiring a contractor.

It is still strongly recommended that each customer obtain two or three different contractor bids on each project, check references, and make sure all contractors’ insurance requirements are up-to-date.

The following contractors completed a comprehensive application and were accepted onto the City Utilities Energy Services & Renewables List. This list represents local contractors who have taken time to register their company with City Utilities.
