With the cost of natural gas and oil rising by as much as 50%, it's time to "Get Energy Smart". We are a BPI (Building Performance Institute) accredited contractor and we encourage you to make energy efficient improvements to your home to help you to reduce these rising costs. With proper insulation/air sealing, replacement windows and doors, HVAC (heating & cooling) upgrades, or by changing your light bulbs and upgrading your appliances, we can save you up to 40% off your utility costs. We can offer you a matching subsidy of up to $5,000 (based on income) applied to the cost of the work performed. If your household falls within the guidelines, you pre-qualify for a matching subsidy. You can also apply for a 5.99% non-lien loan to finance the balance of the cost of the project, or if you choose to pay cash or use your own personal cash/financing or our alternative lenders you qualify for a 10% cash incentive of up to $3,000! Additional documentation will be required to finalize subsidy and loan approval. Please contact us to learn more about Home Performance with ENERGY STAR®. "Get Energy Smart!" Important news articles

Web Administer National Grid Proposes 10% Rate Increase!
More good news from National Grid, our rates will rise by 10% so that they can recoup their losses from homeowners who consume less energy by making their home more energy efficient, or from low-income families who can't afford the rising costs of energy. Expect your yearly bill to rise by $135, however National Grid will allow low income families a $5.00 monthly credit to help them pay their bill. In the meantime, those of us who can afford to pay our bill will pay more to offset their losses from customers who can't afford to pay their bill. There's something wrong with this picture. Though I can sympathize with the lower income families, why should I, or you have to pay more? I don't get this. Web Administrator

Who benefits here? National Grid of course! Please check in tomorrow for more info and updates on the issue of energy savings and programs available to you. This is a subject we will follow closely over the next few weeks. In the meantime we suggest that you call us to schedule a free energy consultation so that we may discuss a solution to help you reduce your energy consumption and costs. We Work! Here are a few Op-Ed's about National Grid's proposal as published by the Post Standard: Gutters don't cause icicles to grow on homes (an op-ed in Sunday's Post Standard) To the editor: On Sunday, your Inside-Outside editor section had an "ask the expert" question about preventing icicles on a roof. Whoever wrote the answer is totally ignorant about what causes icicles! Icicles are caused by a lack of insulation. Gutters have nothing to do with the growth of icicles. Because of the lack of insulation, snow melts on the roof and runs down to the eaves, where the water freezes at the cold overhang. Whether gutters are there or not, the ice will form and grow all sizes of icicles. The correct answer by an expert is: Leave the gutters alone, insulate, air seal and ventilate. This will reduce the snow from melting and the icicles from forming and growing. The ice and snow will never go away as long as we live in Central New York, however we can reduce their effects with proper insulation, air sealing and ventilation. The bigger benefits are a warmer home and lower heating bills. Anonymous New York Homeowners supports this op-ed as truly coming from an "expert". We are experts at providing the proper insulation, air sealing and ventilation that your home needs! Please contact us to learn more about Home Performance with ENERGY STAR®. "Get Energy Smart!"
