Elevate was featured on the second stop of a #heatpump water heater tour across America! We showed our #heat pump installation at La Paz Place, an affordable #multifamily building with Bickerdike Redevelopment Corporation. Elevate’s own William Lyons helped lead the tour!

Myth: Staying indoors protects you from air pollution Fact: The air inside our buildings actually has two to five times the amount of common pollutants compared to outdoor air! Most Americans spent over 90% of their time indoors, and vulnerable populations including young children and senior citizens even more, but there are few regulations or guidelines for indoor air quality. But there are simple things you can do to improve the quality of the air in your home. Spooky Solution: How to Banish Indoor Air Pollution - Ventilate: Open windows or use exhaust fans to let fresh air circulate. - Use Air Purifiers: Opt for HEPA filters to trap harmful particles. - Change HVAC Filters Regularly: Make sure your heating and cooling systems are not circulating dirty air. - Houseplants: Add some greenery to your space—they act as natural air purifiers! By taking these simple steps, you can protect your home and loved ones from hidden indoor air pollution! https://lnkd.in/eZmcrPc

Research shows that home ventilation systems significantly improve indoor air quality by reducing harmful pollutants like mold and carbon monoxide. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates 72% of a person’s chemical exposure happens at home, making this study crucial for healthier living spaces. We know that highlights the benefits of pairing ventilation systems with energy-efficient strategies, which helps keep costs down while improving air quality. 🏠 Check out our website to learn more: https://lnkd.in/gRnKBAWF #HealthyLungMonth #BreatheBetter #IndoorAirQuality #Sustainability #ClimateAction

We want to congratulate the City of Carbondale Government and the Village of Dowell on being awarded an Energy Future Grant! The communities of Carbondale and Dowell, with support from the energy and #federalfunding experts at Elevate, successfully secured this grant to conduct a pre-feasibility study of the Energy Sovereignty, Security, and Democracy Proposal. If successful, this project has the capacity to provide homes and local businesses with low—to no-cost 100% #renewableenergy through public ownership of solar + storage. It would create a sustainable, revenue-positive rural #energy system that supports self-sufficiency and long-term prosperity for recovering energy communities. The Carbondale and Dowell team led the way with their vision for this project, and we're thankful to be part of this effort and to help bring positive change to communities!
