Happy Earth Day!

It's Earth Day, and the employees at Elite Service Company are participating in www.earthday.org's A Billion Acts of Green.  Joel and Sheila planted trees this weekend and Libbie helped build a raised vegetable garden from recycled lumber!  

Elite Service Company cares about the environment.  That's why we take a whole house approach to heating and air conditioning.  

Did you know that you can decrease the heating and cooling load for your home simply by having your home insulated with spray foam insulation?  Not only will this lower your heating and cooling bills by keeping your conditioned air in your home,  but it may also allow you to downsize your heating and air conditioning system.  A smaller system means you pay less at the time of install as well as on your monthly utilities.  

We also install geothermal systems which more than pay for themselves in energy savings by using water to heat and cool your home, drastically reducing your carbon footprint.

This Earth Day, we ask you to pledge an Act of Green.  There are so many simple ways to contribute:  
  • Collect cans for recycling 
  • start a compost heap for your garden 
  • plant a tree (they recycle carbon dioxide!)
  • stop to pick up trash on the side of the road 
  • replace your current light bulbs with CFLs or LEDs 
  • use a programmable thermostat 
  • take your coffee to work in a re-usable mug instead of stopping at your favorite coffee place
  • Adjust the temperature on your hot water heater
  • Install a water-saving shower head
  • Take a shorter shower 
  • Eat local and support local businesses
  • Eat organic foods
