Welcome to Energize Delaware!

Energize Delaware’s Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® program takes a whole-house approach to reducing a home’s energy use while improving its comfort, durability and safety. Instead of tackling energy problems individually, such as replacing an old heating and cooling system or fixing leaky ductwork, Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® looks at a home as one system and recommends comprehensive improvements for better results.

Problem Solving at Its Finest

Written by Dan McBrien, Energy Advisor

Energize Delaware and Franklin Energy would like to recognize Comfort & Energy Solutions for the quality of work performed at a Newark residence this past March. Shane Fair, owner of Comfort & Energy Solutions, got his start within the Home Performance field back in 2012. Shane branched off on his own with the formation of Comfort & Energy Solutions in 2019. He has been a strong contributor within our Home Performance with ENERGY STAR Program for many years. Shane’s attention to detail and knack for problem solving are exemplified within this Home Performance project he recently completed in Newark and shows us how far a little extra effort can go when faced with a house full of opportunities.
