Living Green

You can reduce greenhouse gases, save money and grow the economy for less than you think. New York City spends over one billion dollars each year in energy costs to make possible the bright, bustling environment many of us call home. Though this bill is massive not many of us can say that we are making a significant effort to reduce our energy demand. It has become too easy and comfortable to perpetuate the habits of consumption we have formed over many decades. But, times are changing and what was once comfortable will become quite painful in the coming years.

Energy costs are temporarily down. But, do not lull yourself into believing the price of fossil fuels will not increase dramatically in the coming decade. If they are not increased artificially to sustain the economies of those countries that harvest the fuels it will increase because of a lack in supply, political entanglements or in the worst case scenario because of actions of radical groups. In fact, the National Energy Information Center predicts price increases of 31% for oil and 22% for natural gas notwithstanding abnormal events. The time to protect ourselves and reverse course is now. Think. Build. Save.

We use this axiom at IES because we feel that we are an agent of change. By investing in any one of IES’ services you are reducing your carbon footprint, your energy consumption, your associated monthly bills and increasing the market for renewable systems - you are creating jobs. As if this is not enough motivation, cash incentives reduce the up front cost by more than 75%, tax credits permit you to save even more money and utility rebates can make your renewable systems a source of income.

Take advantage of the cash incentives, tax credits and rebates while they are available today and invest in a project where you have everything to gain and nothing to lose.
