4CORE is partnering with the City of Durango on
residential and commercial energy efficiency, offering a $100 discount toward
50 4CORE HomeRx energy assessments, and a $200 discount for 25 commercial
energy assessments. Additional matching funds of up to $500 will be available
for 20 homes and businesses who implement energy efficiency upgrades while the
funds last. Additional incentives may also be available through Amerigas, LPEA
and Atmos Energy.
“City Council knows that this is the place
where energy savings begins,” said Dick White, Mayor of Durango. “With energy
prices increasing, return on investment for efficiency improvement grows. These
incentives will benefit our residents, our environment, and our local economy.”
4CORE has developed expertise in energy
efficiency recommendations for homes and
businesses. The Home Performance
Prescription Program (HomeRx) is a streamlined process, which helps homeowners along
every step of the way. 4CORE makes homes and buildings efficient, safe, and
comfortable, while also helping occupants save money on utility bills. Detailed
energy, health, and safety assessments are performed and a consultation is
provided, complete with a report and recommendations. 4CORE also offers radon
testing and post-upgrade inspections as additional options.
“This
is an incredible opportunity for our community,” said Gregg Dubit, 4CORE
Executive Director. “With these incentives in place and our HomeRx program up
and running, we believe 2014 will be ‘the year of energy efficiency.’ We're working to
make our region a leader in energy efficiency.”
In addition to the discounts being provided by
the City of Durango, financing options are available through the First National
Bank of Durango to help with energy efficiency improvements.
4CORE trains and works with certified local
contractors to assure a high quality work and is focused on supporting local
job creation. The organization has coordinated assessment and efficiency
improvement services for over 645 homes and businesses. More information can be
