MarylandEnergy
Bold decision will make state a U.S. energy conservation leader
 
Maryland's electric utilities must achieve two percent energy savings per year going forward, in perpetuity, said the state's energy regulating body. This is good news for electricity consumers - and the environment. How will these changes affect Maryland residents?   


Duct

The down and dirty on duct cleaning    

Does duct cleaning benefit your health?
 
At ecobeco, we often get asked the question, "Should I have my ducts cleaned?" If you think cleaning out the dirt and particles in your ducts prevents unhealthful air, you may be surprised to learn it doesn't. We agree with the EPA on this one. So how do you improve the air quality in your ducts and in your home?

ecobeco looks for leaks in the hidden recesses of your home.

Seven steps you can take to reduce respiratory irritants and pollutants at home  

 

Homes are hit with a double whammy - outdoor pollution sneaks in through crawl spaces, cracks and holes, and human activities and pets create further indoor air pollution.

Poor indoor air quality can cause colds, asthma, allergies and other respiratory illnesses. Here are seven steps you can take to improve the air you and your family breathes.
Rebates
Home improvement rebates increased to $2,500-$4,300 in Maryland
Schedule your ecobeco Home Energy Audit to get started
 
ecobeco is an award-winning provider of Home Performance with ENERGY STAR, a partner program with Pepco, BGE, and Potomac Edison in Maryland.
 
Working with ecobeco qualifies you for home improvement rebates, currently 50 percent of your improvement cost up to $2,500 (restrictions apply). This change was made by the Maryland Public Service Commission in May 2015 to encourage deeper energy savings and to promote the benefits of sealing leaky air ducts. 
 
ecobeco performs home energy audits and energy efficiency home improvements to improve home comfort, health and energy savings.
Rebates up to $2,000 are available for air sealing and insulation only, while $2,500 now is available if your improvements include sealing air ducts.

Add to that cash rebates for upgrading your HVAC equipment, and you could end up with a total of $4,300 in rebates after all your work is done. (Montgomery County and Takoma Park customers have additional rebates.)
 
 The first step is to schedule your $100 Home Energy Audit.*

Contact us here to schedule. If you already have had an audit, contact us to give you a proposal for the home improvement you would like to do.

After your Home Energy Audit, ecobeco will send you a customized report with an easy-to-understand home improvement plan. You will receive a consultation with your auditor to discuss the findings listed in the report and the proposal. ecobeco will provide you with a cost-effective plan to make your home more comfortable, healthy, and efficient. From proposal to implementation to verification, we'll be there every step of the way.  Schedule a Home Energy Audit today.
