South Jersey Energy Service Plus Introduces
Energy Efficiency Audits

  

        Folsom, N.J. – South Jersey Energy Service Plus announces its participation in New Jersey’s Home Performance with ENERGY STAR Program. SJESP is one of the first contractors in New Jersey to become certified by the Building Performance Institute to perform energy efficiency audits, which include recommendations and improvements that will save consumers money, improve home comfort and reduce energy needs.

Sponsored by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities and New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program, Home Performance with ENERGY STAR offers consumers access to trained, certified home improvement contractors who, for a fee, perform energy efficiency audits.

Using a whole house approach, SJESP’s specially trained and accredited technicians assess a home’s energy efficiency from top to bottom to identify sources of wasted energy. The homeowner receives a comprehensive report of the findings, along with recommendations to improve the home’s energy efficiency. Homeowners who implement the recommendations are eligible for special low-interest financing of 5.99% or 10% cash-back through the Clean Energy Program. Rebates and tax credits may also be available when installing ENERGY STAR high efficiency equipment.

Through the combined efforts of South Jersey Energy Service Plus and Home Performance with ENERGY STAR audits, customers have a distinct advantage in determining whether they are best served by replacing their heating and cooling equipment, replacing the windows or upgrading the insulation to optimize the benefits of their investment through the potential savings available.

“In addition to helping consumers save up to 30% on energy costs and increasing their home’s comfort, the audits address safety issues as well, said Ted Pettinelli, energy manager of SJESP; “We perform checks for carbon monoxide levels, moisture issues, and other building problems that could cause unsafe conditions,” Pettinelli added.

In addition to energy efficiency audits, SJESP provides heating, air conditioning and plumbing installation and service, as well as appliance repairs by NATE-certified technicians and installers for homes and businesses. SJESP also offers installation of solar electric systems for home and commercial business owners. For more information on SJESP services call 1-866-720-3882 or visit www.sjesp.com.
