East Hampton Town’s Energize East Hampton initiative is making it easier and more affordable for homeowners and businesses to adopt energy efficient heating and cooling solutions.
The new Green Heating and Cooling East Hampton campaign, supported by the New York State Energy Research & Development Authority Clean Energy Communities program, connects residents and business owners with contractors who will complete energy audits and install cold climate air source heat pumps, geothermal heat pumps and weatherization upgrades at a discount offered exclusively for campaign participants. A single heat pump system can provide both heating and cooling to an entire building or individual rooms and is a low maintenance, cleaner and more efficient electric alternative to fossil fuel heating and window or wall-unit air conditioning systems, according to the campaign.
Green Team LI will provide energy audits, air-source heat pump installations and weatherization improvements and their sub-contractor, Bestaire by Marios, provides geothermal heat pump installations. The contractors will help residents identify and apply for rebates, tax credits and low-interest financing.
East Hampton Town will host a webinar on Tuesday, December 7, at 5:30 p.m. to introduce the campaign and installation partners to the community. Visit EnergizeEH.org/outreach-events to register.
