Hutchinson Plumbing Heating Cooling Receives 2010 Home Performance with Energy Star® Century Club Award

08/24/10

  Hutchinson Plumbing Heating Cooling has received a 2010 Home Performance with ENERGY STAR Century Club Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy. 
  This Century Club Award recognizes Hutchinson Plumbing Heating Cooling as one of a select few that have improved the energy efficiency of more than 100 homes in the past year through the Home Performance with ENERGY STAR Program. Home Performance with ENERGY STAR, sponsored locally by New Jersey Clean Energy’s Home Performance with ENERGY STAR program, offers homeowners a comprehensive, whole house approach to improving energy efficiency and comfort, while saving money on utility bills and helping to protect the environment.
  Chandler von Schrader, with the ENERGY STAR Program at EPA, announced "2008 as the first year we recognized contractors in our program that have performed over 100 energy efficient installations. These Century Club Contractors are industry leaders committed to using building science to maximize energy savings, comfort and sustainability. By making our existing housing stock more energy efficient, these Century Club Contractors are at the forefront of our nation’s efforts to reduce pollution generated from power plants that provide energy for our communities.”
  As a participating contractor in New Jersey Clean Energy’s Home Performance with ENERGY STAR program, contractors receive specialized training and are equipped with diagnostic tools to inspect homes inside and out to determine where improvements are needed. Rather than focusing on a single problem, like an old heating or cooling system, not enough insulation in the attic, or leaky windows, they look at how improvements throughout a home can work together to give homeowners the best results. Depending on the improvements selected by the homeowner, saving 20% or more on their annual utility bills is possible.
  “We’re honored to receive such a prestigious award and will continue to offer innovative, energy efficient programs like ENERGY STAR as it’s a win-in for our customers’ bottom line as well as the environment,” said Fred Hutchinson, CEO, Hutchinson Plumbing Heating Cooling.

      January is not a big month for “don’t miss” events, But it is home to one of, if not “the,” premier events of the year—the State Chamber’s annual “Walk to Washington.”
      The tradition began in 1937 when several of the state's top business executives took a train to Washington to have dinner with New Jersey's congressional delegation. The rest is history. The Walk to Washington obtained its name when participants realized that few sit on the train; they literally walk the train mingling and exchanging business cards the whole way to Washington.
