The Connecticut Energy Efficiency Fund wants contractors to help run its Small Business Energy Advantage program.
The program, in partnership with New Haven electric utility United Illuminating, requires contractors to inspect qualifying small businesses for efficiencies in electrical, mechanical, refrigeration and gas systems, as well as install lighting upgrades, occupancy sensors, programmable thermostats and refrigeration controls.
All contractors wishing to take part in the program should request a bidder’s package from United Illuminating’s purchasing department via fax at 203-499-2491. The deadline to fax the company name, contact name, phone number, fax number and e-mail address for the SBEA program is Oct. 18.
Through multiple initiatives, Gov. Dannel Malloy wants to make Connecticut the most efficient user of energy in the country. Because the state has the top three highest electric rates in the nation, one way to lower overall energy costs is to improve efficiency and conservation.
