EnergySmart arrived Monday, October 29th, to award both homes fantastic Home Energy Makeover second-place* prizes-- $10,000 worth of home energy upgrades!! The prizes include a new energy efficient furnace, home air sealing and insulation upgrades, and $1,500 to use toward a recommended energy upgrade of the homeowner’s choice.
EnergySmart's Beth Beckel writing out a big check!
When she was shopping for her family house, LaToya loved the neighborhood so much that she didn’t realize how inefficient the house was. The original coal-burning furnace was converted to natural gas, and the original windows add charm, but not much warmth. She’s excited to be staying a lot warmer this winter!
Surprise!!
The happy Braun family and their contractors and EnergySmart Advisor
The Owens’ master bedroom was scorching in the summer and frigid in the winter. They bought a space heater and didn’t realize until EnergySmart came in that insulation and air sealing could fix the temperature by using less energy instead of more. They want to leave their home in better condition than when they bought it, so someday another family can be happy there.
"No way!"
Happy homeowners show off their sign.
A HUGE "thank you" goes out to local contractors who largely donate contest prizes:
- Insulation/air sealing: EcoHandyman, ThermalCraft Insulation, EcoSmart Homes, ERC Insulation.
- Furnace installations: Service Experts, SAC Mechanical
- Grand Prize package: Solar City
EnergySmart's Home Energy Makeover grand prize and additional 2nd-place prizes were awarded this week as well!
*Each 2nd-place winning home was randomly selected from all Home Energy Makeover entries needing these upgrades.
