BrightHome Energy Solutions Launches New Jersey Venture

BrightHome Energy Solutions, a home energy solutions consultant and provider based in Elmsford, New York, and Green Living Solutions of New Jersey, have formed a joint venture to serve Northern New Jersey.

The new partnership enables BrightHome to expand its energy-reduction services and solutions to the New Jersey market. BrightHome's services help alleviate the problems that many homeowners experience: high energy bills, inconsistent room temperatures, drafty floors, musty smells and uncomfortable hot and cold areas of the home.

Edward Schwartz, co-founder of Green Living Solutions, will continue his role as leader of the New Jersey organization. As a Certified Energy Professional and Sustainability Consultant, Ed serves residential, business and municipal communities. “Eco-Ed” works with homeowners, builders and architects to provide services such as energy audits, green/sustainability analyses, and selection and implementation of sustainable building materials and technologies during renovations and new construction.

“Ed brings a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience to the team,” said Joe Kaplan, the president of BrightHome. “His expertise with green technologies and renewable energy makes him an incredible resource for BrightHome’s customers.”

Ed’s activism includes educating schools and communities about home energy efficiency, eco-friendly landscaping and healthier cleaning products that lowers people’s carbon footprint along with their impact on global warming.

Ed currently serves as the Coordinator of Sustainable Energy for the North Jersey Chapter of the Sierra Club, and is certified by the New Jersey Clean Energy Program and the Building Performance Institute.
