EnergyWorks Program Launches Cool Campaign In Philadelphia Region
|
|
EnergyWorks, a program created by the Metropolitan Caucus and supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, launched a “cool” new public education campaign this week that is teaching homeowners in the Greater Philadelphia region that making energy-efficient improvements can keep their homes cool and their energy costs down as summer temperatures heat up. “Today is the first official day of summer and temperatures have already climbed into the high 90s,” said Andy Rachlin, Director of the EnergyWorks program. “We’re hoping this exciting new campaign will encourage homeowners to use the EnergyWorks program to make easily accessible and affordable upgrades to their home that will reduce their energy use – and their energy bills – while maintaining their personal level of comfort. It’s part of a broader, region-wide strategy to get smarter about how we use energy while growing a new energy efficiency industry in our region.”
Over the next couple of months, commuters in the Greater Philadelphia region will see EnergyWorks displayed throughout the Septa regional-rail system, a 6abc sponsorship, a steady presence in the Metro, web banners on Accuweather.com and other key weather, home and green websites, as well on Google, Yahoo and Bing search engines.
As it builds, the campaign will also feature opportunities for community organizations and major employers throughout the region to partner with EnergyWorks to hold information sessions for their members and employees.
The campaign will run from June 20 to August 14 and was designed and executed in partnership with the Metropolitan Caucus, Neiman Group, and Cardenas-Grant Communications.
EnergyWorks encourages homeowners to get started by signing up for a home energy assessment that will help them identify ways they can benefit from energy-efficiency improvements. For a limited time, EnergyWorks is offering regional homeowners the opportunity to receive a comprehensive home energy assessment for $150 – a service that generally costs approximately $400.
Already, more than 250 homeowners in the Greater Philadelphia region have taken advantage of EnergyWorks services. The program has even inspired one enthusiastic GRID blogger to chronicle her experiences.
This program aims to generate more energy-efficient improvements in existing homes, as well as businesses, and hopes to issue more than 2,000 residential and dozens of commercial loans over the next three years.
The EnergyWorks residential program offers professional advisory services, financing as low as 0.99 percent, and free quality assurance to support energy efficiency improvements for homeowners in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties.
To learn more to sign up for their energy assessment, homeowners can visit the EnergyWorksNow website. If you’re a business owner in the Greater Philadelphia region, you can also visit the EnergyWorksNow website or call 215-496-8161 to speak to a live customer service representative and learn how EnergyWorks commercial loans can make your energy-efficiency improvement project more affordable.
