There are many benefits to implementing energy efficiency improvements at home or at your business.  These include combatting climate change, reducing energy costs, and improving the comfort of your indoor spaces.
​

Combatting Climate Change:  A recent study found that the fuel used to heat homes in Concord, New Hampshire comprises a substantial portion of the city’s overall carbon footprint (35%). Electricity used to power our homes and businesses adds a whopping 18% to the city’s carbon emissions.  Transportation is the largest contributor to this city's carbon emissions.

It doesn’t have to be this way.  Many buildings in Concord are overconsuming heating fuel (such as natural gas, oil, propane and wood pellets) and electricity due to poor insulation, outdated heating systems, and old lights and appliances.  With simple energy efficiency upgrades and better insulation – home and business owners can drastically reduce energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions, while improving the comfort and safety of their indoor spaces.
​​

​Save Money: Weatherization pays off!  Investments in insulation, air sealing, and more efficient lights, appliances, and heating systems result in direct reductions in home and business energy bills.  A home weatherization project typically results in at least a 20% reduction in annual energy costs.  And since the cost of these improvements are offset by NH Saves, the payback period on your investment is reduced.  Your auditor will give you an estimate of annual energy savings and payback period before you begin your project.

Home Comfort:  Customers report noticeable improvements in the comfort of their homes both in the summer and winter.  Adding home insulation and air sealing is like putting a cozy blanket around your home for the winter, and it helps to block out intense heat in the summer.  As a result, there are fewer drafts and cold spots in the winter, and homes do not get as hot in the summer.

Success Stories:  Don't take our word for it.  View the following testimonials to hear from property owners that have completed weatherization work.  If you have a weatherization tale to share, please email WeatherizeConcordNH@gmail.com as we are collating stories from your neighbors.
