New Year's Resolution to Save

The new year is a perfect time to get organized to do those home projects you've been meaning to do. Has a free home energy audit been on your list for a while? Have you been meaning to follow up on that audit you had last year?

We can help you meet your new year's energy resolution. It's easy. Just call ener-G-save 413-279-9141 or sign up at www.ener-g-save.com/contact. We'll connect you to a
licensed contractor who will schedule an audit at your convenience within a few weeks.

Save on your bills, increase your comfort, and help reduce carbon pollution for years to come.

Solar is for Everyone!
We're very lucky in Massachusetts to have a lot of ways to go solar. If you have lots of good sun on your property, you can own a solar array on your home, even if you don't have much money. It can pay for itself right from the start. And if you rent or don't have lots of good sun on your property, you can buy panels in a shared array nearby or just subscribe on a monthly basis to a shared array. Any way you go, you'll save money on your electric bill. Give us a call and we can help you find the best option for you.

ener-G-save tip for January: Plug the Holes in Your House!

If a door or window was left open in the winter, you would close it because that would be such a waste of energy. What if there are holes that you haven't noticed where heat is streaming out of your home? Be sure to:

close the damper and glass doors if you have them on your fireplace:
cover in-wall air conditioners
weatherstrip windows and doors
lock windows to make sure they're tightly closed

For do-it -yourself, cost-effective air sealing, see this article.

Already had an Audit? Help Spread the Savings

ener-G-save is a philanthropic project aiming to educate and motivate more people to use the energy efficiency programs offered by the utility companies. We've learned that the most effective method of motivating people is for them to hear from a friend or neighbor who had an audit.

Would you forward this email with a message about how you are benefiting from your home energy audit? Letting 5 friends or neighbors know is likely to lead to 2 or 3 more audits.

Please give us a call with questions or suggestions at 413-279-9141 or email ener-g-save@cooppower.coop.

Thank you,
