High Efficiency Water Heaters…
GO GREEN….SAVE GREEN!
In an effort to implement ‘Green’ solutions, the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy has sponsored the ENERGY STAR® Program in order to highlight and promote environmentally conscious products. The process of heating water for domestic use including washing, bathing and laundry can account for as much as 17% of the overall energy usage of an average household. Just think about it…applying the practice of the ENERGY STAR® Program will translate into substantial savings for homeowners.
WHY GO GREEN?
The reasons are simple…you will reduce your carbon footprint promoting better health of our environment and save money! The Department of Energy projects that within five years of the implementation of the ENERGY STAR® Program Americans are expected to collectively save nearly $780 million dollars in utility costs and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 4 million tons. Simply stated: Installing an Energy Star® recognized water heater will allow you to do your part in saving our planet while saving money! Are you ready to Go Green? If you're ready for a green water heater installation, we're ready too!

The true cost of your Heating and Air Conditioning and Electrical Systems
We hunger for more information an ways to bring advice to New Jersey homeowners and business owners. Still, the best suggestion for most of us in our quest for saving the planet, saving money and saving NJ's position as a leader in "Green Solutions" still remains the evaluation of your electrical usage, the operating inefficiency and cost of your heating and cooling systems impacted by the age of this equipment (older inefficient systems= higher energy costs) resulting in a large impact on your carbon footprint. Overwhelmingly, the consensus of opinion remains the same. Here's the opinion of the folks at New Jersey's Clean Energy Program.
Green Technologies - Whether it's compact fluorescent light bulbs or Solar Panels for your home or business, New Jersey's Clean has the resources and information you need to save money on your energy costs and improve the safety, comfort and durability of your home for many years to come. We show you how to use state-of-the-art technologies effectively, and at the same time we provide financial incentives to help your home improvements. Our goal is to save you money, energy and the environment by encouraging the wise use of energy and supporting the installation of clean, renewable sources of energy.
Heating -As much as half of the energy used in your home goes to heating 
and cooling. Through utility company WARMAdvantage Program, consumers are provided rebates when they purchase high efficiency "Energy Star" qualified natural gas home heating systems and/or water heaters. As part of the program, you are eligible to receive rebates for the purchase of furnaces, furnaces with electronic commutated motor (ECM) or equivalent, boilers, and/or water heaters. By purchasing high efficiency heating systems you will also save on energy costs and improve comfort in your home. Did you know that the appropriate humidity levels allow you to lower your thermostat settings and save energy?
Air Conditioning - Central air conditioning has become the standard in 
comfort in the United States. A/C units are more efficient today and with new green technologies save you money on cooling your home as well as implementing EPA standards for ozone-free refrigerants.
Furnaces - Furnaces are the most commonly used heating system in the United States, running more often on gas and sometimes oil, and delivers heat through a ducted system. One in four furnaces in the USA is older than 20 years of age. ENERGY STAR equipment uses advance technologies to deliver higher efficiency than standard furnaces today.
Boilers - A boiler heats your home by burning gas or fuel oil to heat water or 
steam that circulates through either radiators or baseboard, or radiant floor systems. Boilers that have earned the ENERGY STAR have higher efficiency Annual Fuel Utilization (AFUE) ratings which is a measure of heating equipment efficiency.
Domestic Water Heaters - New Jersey's Clean Energy Program also provides incentives for the purchase of high efficiency water heaters.
