From L-R: Lester Holley, Vice President of Finance and Administration, EnerWorks; Tom Heintzman, President, Bullfrog Power; Pierre Poilievre, Member of Parliament for Nepean-Carleton; Paul Green, Director of Enbridge Gas Distribution; and Matthew Sachs, General Manager of Urbandale Construction.Bullfrog Power, together with Enbridge Gas Distribution, EnerWorks, and the Government of Canada today announced the launch of a new Solar Water Heating Program.

Solar water heating allows homeowners to reduce their energy costs and environmental impact by harnessing the sun’s energy through the installation of their own solar water heating systems.

At the time of purchase, qualifying homeowners will receive a substantial savings on the purchase and installation of their own solar water heating systems. These savings are made possible through the Government of Canada’s ecoENERGY for Renewable Heat program and volume discounts from EnerWorks. Interested homeowners may also qualify for further rebates and credits through the ecoENERGY Retrofit-Homes program, provincial rebates and the new Home Renovation Tax Credit.

This limited-time offer will give homeowners in the Enbridge Gas Distribution franchise area the opportunity to save up to 50 per cent on their own solar water heating systems. They may also reduce their ongoing water heating energy costs by up to 60 per cent and financing for the installation is available from as little as $56 dollars a month.

Imagine if you could choose a New Year’s resolution from your list, press a button, and like magic achieve it instantly. Guess what? Many of you actually can! If green powering your home is on the list, that is.

Raising Spaces is pretty green to begin with - we conserve energy, water, and materials, print documents only when necessary on reused and 100% recycled paper, make web changes via a wind powered computer, and do what we can to help others go greener at home.

Now, we’ve taken the next step toward reducing our carbon footprint by becoming bullfrogpowered™. This means that 100% of our electricity consumption is generated by wind power. Read the rest of this entry »
