Energy Efficiency Upgrades Made Easy

Posted August 27th, 2010 by GreenTech Energy Services

The Direct Install Program run by New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program makes it easy and affordable for small to medium-sized facilities in New Jersey to cut their energy costs. The program pays up to 60% of the costs of replacing lighting, HVAC and other outdated operational equipment with energy efficiency alternatives. To date, GreenTech Energy Services has done the lighting component of over 40 Direct Install projects, from day care centers and laundromats to restaurants and stores. We have developed an efficient system for managing these projects that assures they will be completed on time, within budget, and to the complete satisfaction of the customers. If you have a facility that might qualify for a Direct Install project, you can read more about the program at http://www.njcleanenergy.com/commercial-industrial/programs/direct-install.
