posted on: 6/14/2019

The City of Dover is partnering with Eversource and Unitil to launch an energy efficiency campaign that will help local businesses reduce their energy costs and impact on the environment. Teams of energy efficiency experts representing the local energy companies will begin visiting businesses in the community next week offering free energy analyses, energy-efficient equipment upgrades and facility improvements.

“The cost savings businesses achieve through energy efficiency upgrades directly impacts their bottom line, providing them with a competitive edge for future growth,” said Dover City Manager J. Michael Joyal. Jr. “Our partnership with Eversource and Unitil will allow Dover businesses to focus on their core mission while local experts work to save them money and energy, supporting economic development and the advancement of clean energy in New Hampshire.”

Energy efficiency experts will be in the community meeting with business owners to provide more information about the energy efficiency campaign and to schedule energy analyses from Monday, June 17 through Friday, June 21. Businesses that participate may qualify for significant incentives toward the installation of interior and exterior LED lighting, refrigeration controls, programmable thermostats, water saving devices and insulation. Additionally, participating businesses may be eligible to receive interest-free financing to support their investment in these valuable energy efficiency upgrades.

Local, licensed electricians contracted by Eversource and Unitil will complete approved projects, ensuring minimal disruption to daily business operations. All high-efficiency products installed as part of the program will include warranties for both materials and labor. Eversource and Until have delivered letters with more information about the program to businesses throughout the City of Dover.

For more information about the program and to schedule a free assessment at a convenient time, businesses should contact the energy companies’ contractor, AECOM, directly at 603-296-0377.
