Vermont Business Magazine: Solar Heat Campaign
SunCommon launches solar heat campaign with Excel Plumbing and Heating
SunCommon, Vermont’s largest residential solar company, has teamed with Excel Plumbing and Heating of Rutland to make the move toward solar heating easy and affordable for all Vermonters. Every year, Vermonters spend approximately $2.6 billion on energy, $800 million or more of which is spent on heating fuel. SunCommon said in a statement that Vermonters should be reminded of the looming financial and environmental impact of fossil fuels. By switching to solar heat via heat pumps, SunCommon said, Vermonters will tap into the least expensive, most efficient and safest way to heat and cool their home.
“SunCommon’s program has been an excellent opportunity for customers to install these products at an affordable price,” said Caroline LaCoille of Excel Plumbing and Heating. “When heat pumps are paired with SunCommon’s PV solar arrays net-zero heating capabilities are within reach, nearly eliminating the need for fossil fuel.”
“SunCommon believes that everyone deserves a healthy environment and a safer world. Energy from the sun can power our lives, heat our homes and fuel our cars. We see building Vermont’s renewable energy infrastructure as a key piece of accomplishing this vision” says Jessica Edgerly Walsh, Organizing Manager at SunCommon. “We help Vermonters by removing the barriers that have made solar and solar heat inaccessible. SunCommon is thefirst company to pair solar and heat pump technology with our no up-front cost program making it affordable for anyone who wants to be part of building our clean energy future.”
SunCommon will be hosting several community solar heat workshops for those interested in learning more about solar and heat pumps.
