To help low incomeColumbiaresidents save energy and money, Columbia Water & Light is offering the Air Conditioner Exchange program again this year for low-income customers. The purpose of this program is to replace inefficient window units with new energy efficient window units. The Central Missouri Community Action is partnering with the utility and will be screening the applicants and will help distribute the units. The eligibility requirements for the Air Conditioner Exchange program are: 

*You must be a current City of Columbia utility customer

*You must have an older, less efficient/broken window unit to exchange

*You have an annual income of less than 200% of the poverty level

*We are making these groups of people our first priority for the exchange program:

*65 years of age or older

*Receive income for a disability

*Have children age 5 or younger living in your household

Boone Electric Cooperative also has a limited amount of window air conditioners for their customers that qualify the requirements listed above.

Please note that there are a limited number of units to exchange. If a person is unable to bring in the older unit to exchange for a new unit, they should contact theCMCA-BooneCountyFamilyResourceCenter at 573-443-1100.
