Energy Saving Workshop

Join us on Thursday, April 8, at 7 pm here at the store for a workshop by Howard Nannen titled "Maine Pays You to Save Energy." The workshop is free and open to the public.

"Mainers are about to learn of an exciting new state program called the Efficiency Maine Weatherization Program," says Howard. "The State-O-Maine will pay you to weatherize your home. But as they say, 'Certain restrictions and requirements apply,' so we will help guide you through program requirements in our talk at F.W. Horch this Thursday."

Howard works with Energy Solutions For Maine, Inc. of Scarborough. The company is owned by Hugh Savage of Brunswick. Principal auditor, Aaron Despres of Harpswell performs home and commercial energy audits, as well as management of recommended energy efficiency improvements.

In his talk, Howard will explain how the Efficiency Maine Weatherization Program works. Incentive payments of $1,500 are available to homeowners who achieve a 25% savings in energy consumption, and a $3,000 incentive payment is available to those who achieve a 50% energy savings. When coupled with tax credits and utility rebates in some areas of the state, this new program provides a strong incentive to invest in weatherization to improve the heating efficiency of homes and businesses.

You'll learn how to qualify for Maine's weatherization rebates while making your home more energy efficient to save money on heating bills. Not only does weatherization pay off in dollar savings year after year, but it also results in a safer, more comfortable home.

Free refreshments and handouts will be provided.

Space is limited. To reserve a seat or for more information, please call 729-4050 or visit www.FWHorch.com.
