It’s Not Just Business, It’s Personal

The passion of the team here at Energy Conservation Services stems from personal experience and an urgent need to meet our climate goals, not just dollar signs. After learning how to improve their own home, founders Bill and Melinda McKnight were so impressed with how their home felt, they wanted their friends, family, and neighbors to experience the same. Improving buildings presents a significant challenge in meeting our electrification and carbon emission reduction benchmarks, yet it happens to be our unwavering passion, driving us to deliver excellence on every single project. 

Fossil Fuel Free: A Commitment to Sustainability

As of May 26, 2023, Energy Conservation Services, Inc proudly received the prestigious Green Business Champion Award from Ulster County Executive Jen Metzger, marking a remarkable achievement as the first company to accomplish all three tiers of the UGreen Business Challenge. Our dedication to our craft is so profound that we have successfully transformed both our residential space—an exquisite 1960 colonial-style building on a slab—and our commercial establishment—an illustrious 1850 timber-frame building—to be completely fossil fuel-free.E

When seeking factual information about your building, call us for professional advice on indoor air quality, diagnostic testing, air sealing and insulation and historic preservation upgrades. By doing all of the necessary changes in your building ahead of time, you can smoothly transition off fossil fuels for a more comfortable, efficient, healthier, safer home for you and your family to make lasting memories. 

We are also an Accredited GoldStar Contractor by the Building Performance Institute and a Pearl Elite Contractor. This means we are able to certify the upgrades we perform in your home through an independent third party.

Address Comfort and Efficiency Problems At the Source

When comfort issues are addressed, efficiency will follow! By utilizing a diagnostic approach to reducing energy waste, Energy Conservation Services can look at how all of the systems within a building are interconnected. For example, a building that may appear to be wasting energy through an inefficient heating and cooling system may actually be suffering from excessive air leaks or ineffective insulation.
