“Southern Home Performance was one of three contractors that were hired to improve the comfort level and energy efficiency of our home. I was very impressed with the level of knowledge, expertise, and professionalism that Will displayed during the initial consultation. The results of their recommendations and subsequent efforts were astounding. Since completion of the project several months ago, we are realizing an average savings of 45% on our energy bills, and a much improved and comfortable climate in which to live. During the installation and upgrade process, Will and his crew did an exemplary job with great attention to detail to ensure my complete satisfaction. The follow-up and responsiveness of both Will and Bridget following job completion has also been superb.” - Troy McCrary

Highlighting roles of Faith and African American communities...
Last week was Earth Week with many activities across the state organized and
attended by people who care about the earth and want humans to be more
sustainable.
The Georgia Chapter celebrated Earth Day with Historic Ebenezer Baptist Church
for their First Annual Earth Day Celebration and Creation Care Service. Pastor
Raphael Warnock delivered a service entitled "Proclamation of Creation" to
highlight the importance of the role that the Faith and African American
community play in the environmental movement.
Immediately following church service, several hundred members of Ebenezer
participated in the first ever Ebenezer Baptist Church "Green Fair". During the
fair Ebenezer members participated in a light bulb swap where they received
one compact fluorescent bulb in exchange for one incandescent bulb along
with an energy efficiency tip sheet.
Our chapter organizer Seandra Rawls, along with energy committee members
Marion Webb and Samantha Sayer did an awesome job of helping to raise
awareness in the church community about the importance of energy efficiency
and the work that we do at the Sierra Club.
We'd like to give a special thank you to Southern Home Performance who
helped sponsor the event and to our new Sierra Club volunteer Cynthia
Bohannon-Brown who did an awesome job at capturing the event in these
phenomenal photos.
Southern Home Performance was recently featured in the October issue of Points North: Creating an Energy- and Cost-Efficient Home. Make sure to check out the issue Here

Using compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) instead of comparable incandescent bulbs can save approximately 50% on your lighting costs, use only one-fourth the energy and last up to 10 times longer.

Most showers use 2-4 gallons of water per minute (depending on the shower head). By cutting your 10-minute shower in half, you could save 10-20 gallons of water. Also, if you have children, try switching them to quick showers instead of baths (which use much more water). In addition, check your water heater setting. It should be 120-140 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep it at the lowest setting that still feels comfortable for you.
Dry consecutive loads of laundry By drying loads back-to-back, you take advantage of retained heat, thus using less energy
A drafty home, rooms that are too hot or too cold, and high energy bills are all common issues for homeowners-- We can Help!!!
