Finger Lakes Climate Fund

It’s not too good to be true! Our 51st Climate Fund grant winner Megan was at first skeptical of the process. Lots of paperwork? Hidden costs? Too good to be true? She didn’t want that...good thing she came to the right place. Overwhelmed, she reached out to Snug Planet and was connected quickly with Sarah. Sarah walked her through the process and handled everything, reassuring Megan along the way. Together, they made a plan to tackle and address her family’s needs in the...ir new home. Megan was set up with a new heat pump water heater, air source heat pump, and added insulation in her basement and attic. Her son was recovering from a concussion and suffering from chronic headaches, so when it was really hot and humid, he could cool off real quick with the heat pump’s air conditioning, an unexpected benefit! . .. .. . #localoffsets #lifeintheflx #flxclimatefund #givelocal #carbonoffsetting See more
