Gentlemen - Grab Your Caulking Guns

A featured article in today's State newspaper business section, “Plan encourages home upgrades” says that the Electrical Cooperatives of South Carolina want to tie the cost of retrofitting homes to monthly utility bills. If approved, the Co-ops expect to retrofit 225,000 homes over the next 10 years at a cost of $750 million. This represents about 1 in 10 of all the homes in South Carolina.

The proposed Legislative Bill provides a huge opportunity to put a lot of people back to work, and help transform the "leaky sieve" of our older housing stock into energy efficient homes.
