Boone, N.C. — Area residents are invited to enter the “High Country Home Energy Makeover Contest” to win a grand prize of at least $3,000 in home energy improvements designed to save money on their monthly electricity bills for years to come. Two runners-up will each win up to $1,000 of energy efficiency improvements on their homes.
The contest was officially launched today by Appalachian Voices, a Boone-based nonprofit conservation organization whose mission is to protect the region’s communities and natural resources by promoting a shift to a clean energy future. Four local businesses that provide home energy retrofits are supporting the contest in various ways, including performing the home improvements for the three winners. The business sponsors are Blue Ridge Energy Works, LLC, High Country Energy Solutions, Inc., HomEfficient, and Sunny Day Homes, Inc.
