Not sure how many of you are aware that a great program exists for small businesses in the Chicago area: Small Businesses Energy Assessments | ComEd.

I discovered this program from the back-end, as I have a couple of clients who participate as “trade allies” — small businesses request a free energy assessment and then ComEd pays for part of the contracting work to bring workplaces up-to-date to be more efficient in energy use. It’s a win-win-win for the small business needing the upgrades, the small business doing the contracting work, and the environment. The savings on energy costs alone make it worth the while, but the incentives certainly help with motivation.

So, just in case you weren’t already aware of the program, here it is. Sign up today for a free energy assessment, with no strings attached.

And as a reminder, I don’t accept payments for blog posts! This is a program I’ve seen many of my clients benefit from, and thought I should spread the word to others.
