We have teamed up with one of the most trusted names in energy efficiency and have developed an energy efficiency plan that WILL slash your utility bills and reduce your carbon footprint by making sure all of your lighting fixtures and heating systems are running as efficiently as possible. The plan even includes an optional water management program where you can reduce your water consumption at little to no cost to you. This program typically pays for itself in a year or two and you reap the benefits every year thereafter.
We have teamed up with an environmental solutions company to develop a plan that WILL decrease your scavenger bill. They are experts at contract negotiation with scavenger companies and they work on a contingency / commission basis – so the more money that they save you, the more money they make. This incentive ensures that they will fight to lower your scavenger bill as much as possible.
