A contractor in Redding asked: Are there any resources I can use to help sell weatherization projects?

GoGreen Home: As you know, weatherization measures can make a major difference in keeping your customers’ homes warm and comfortable. While many folks will be rushing to replace their heating systems this time of year, a lot of people overlook weatherization upgrades like insulation, energy efficient windows and doors, and air sealing. By using the Bill Impact Estimate table and promoting available tax credits, you can sell more weatherization projects and make sure your customers don’t miss out on significant energy savings.

The Bill Impact Estimate provides GoGreen Home customers with a rough estimate of annual bill savings for select energy efficiency upgrades. As you can see below, measures such as insulation and windows help keep the hot or cool air being generated from escaping the home. When air leaks out of the home, so do your customers’ dollars so be sure to refer them to the Bill Impact Estimate to demonstrate how these investments in weatherization may save them hundreds of dollars in the long-term.
