Is Your Home Safe & Efficient for the Impending Cold Weather?

01/03/12

  In 1948, George Hutchinson and his sons started Hutchinson Plumbing Heating Cooling with their entire life savings - $35 in a cigar box. The Hutchinson Brothers still reign at the helm of what is now, one of the largest full-service, plumbing, heating, cooling and energy contractors in the Delaware Valley. And although they no longer use the cigar box, they still know a thing or two about saving money - especially in the colder months.
“People don’t realize just how much energy the average home wastes when the temperature drops outside,” says Fred Hutchinson, CEO of Hutchinson Plumbing Heating Cooling. “Wasted energy equals wasted dollars.”
   Hutchinson is industry-renowned for their innovations in home-energy efficiency. They specialize in numerous projects homeowners can undertake to increase a home’s energy efficiency. However, before tackling these improvements, the Department of Energy recommends hiring a certified expert to perform an ENERGY STAR® Home Audit.
   Hutchinson is certified by the Department of Energy as an ENERGY STAR Home Performance Contractor and is trained by the Building Performance Institute (BPI) on how to best improve energy efficiency in residential homes. In addition, the Environmental Protection Agency recognized Hutchinson for exceptional performance, and awarded them the Century Award. Hutchinson is 1 of a mere 53 accredited companies honored with this award, and are ranked 1ST in the Nation.
   In recognizing the importance of an efficient home, Hutchinson now offers an ENERGY STAR® Home Audit for FREE. In addition to saving money, an efficient home is safer, prevents minor issues from turning into major problems and immensely increases a home’s comfort and value! A family-run company for over 60 years, Hutchinson strives to provide energy-saving tips and services direct “from our family to yours.”

       Ralph LaRossa, President and Chief Operating Officer of PSE&G, reminded a crowd of 300 South Jersey business leaders packed into the Rutgers-Camden Student Center conference hall that the state’s energy master plan calls for 22.5% of the state’s power to come from renewable sources by 2021.
