February 2012 e-newsletter
Hello, I am Brian Paterson, Vice President of New Buffalo Impact. We are a nonprofit corporation established in 1998 to assist homeowners, both single and multi-family, to achieve energy savings in their homes. We offer a WholeHouse (comprehensive) Energy Audit which provides homeowners with a complete assessment of suggested energy related improvements and solutions. NBI also does all the work necessary to meet the improvement specifications. The purpose of this newsletter is to help you become aware of what you can do to lower your heating and cooling bills.

Protect your biggest investment...your house!
A house is the single biggest investment most of us will make in our lifetime. It is not only the physical embodiment of a “home”, but also an investment that can grow...if we take care of it and do the right things.
Protecting your investment, and taking care of a house, can mean doing a lot of things, but one sure fire way to accomplish it is to make sure your home is energy efficient...and that means making sure it is properly prepared to keep nature’s forces from putting a chill on your home’s value.
There are a lot of things a home owner can do including: improving insulation and air sealing; replacing old energy inefficient appliances with more modern ENERGY STAR ones; upgrading old windows and doors with new more energy efficient ones; installing a programmable thermostat; and fixing, repairing, or replacing aging furnaces and air conditioning with new units.
It is best to have an accredited professional conduct a high tech comprehensive home energy audit to provide details on any energy saving measures a home owner should take including: insulation, doors, windows, air sealing, and energy efficient heating and cooling systems.
Some contractors, like New Buffalo Impact, perform all the necessary home energy improvement work without sub-letting it to third parties.
In addition, ask your contractor if they will work with you to identify, and apply for, other various financial assistance programs. There are a lot of programs in place to reduce your out of pocket investment to make your home more energy efficient.
Of course, developing a home energy improvement plan and following it will do more than protect your investment in the long run. It will save you money each day you reside in your home by reducing heating and cooling costs. An energy efficient home can save 35% or more in energy costs each year. That can add up to instant cash in your pocket!
There are more benefits to home energy improvement too...like helping to conserve our energy resources, improving the environment and just making life in your house a whole lot more comfortable.
Your home is your biggest investment and deserves to receive the care it deserves. Make your home more energy efficient and watch your investment grow.
