LI Green Homes: Save Energy, Save Money

If someone said you could save energy, be friendly to our environment and save some cash in the process, then what would you say?

The Long Island Green Homes Consortium, which comprises seven towns, including the Town of Babylon, hopes the answer to that question is a resounding, "Sounds great. Sign me up."

The consortium was first formed in 2009 to apply for a grant from the Department of Energy to retrofit neighborhoods in conjunction with utility programs.

Residents can receive a free or low-cost home audit, where a contractor will provide recommendations about how to make a home more energy-efficient. There's also low-interest financing available to cover energy-efficiency improvements.

The program is open to anyone in the Town of Babylon who owns a home and is up to date on their property taxes.
