Clean Heating, Cooling Session In Pelham Could Save More Than Money

PELHAM, NY — April is Earth Month and the Village and Town of Pelham is getting into the spirit with an event that promises to help the Earth and our pocketbooks.

The village and town are partnering with Sustainable Westchester to host a clean heating and cooling information session open to all. Homeowners will have a chance to learn about how new insulation products, heat pumps and geothermal technology can improve health, make home more comfortable and reduce homeowners' carbon footprints — not to mention saving money on utility bills and at tax time.

The Village and the Town of Pelham together with EcoPel are presenting an Earth Week information session on energy efficiency and clean heating and cooling systems on Wednesday, April 24, from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., at the Daronco Town House.

Attendees will learn more about how to save money and reduce energy usage at home and hear about Sustainable Westchester’s EnergySmart Homes program. Homeowners will find out how to heat and cool homes without fossil fuels and, in the process, gain summertime air-conditioning and wintertime heating.

There will also be information about federal tax credits, utility rebates and state incentives, as well as opportunities to talk to contractors, sign up for Grid Rewards to get cash back from Con Ed this summer, and get answers about the Community Solar — Solar for All program, for homeowners and renters meeting income eligibility requirements.

Registration is requested, but not required here.
