Are your heating bills rising
this winter? Are you fighting to
stay consistently comfortable
in your home? Help is available!
Check out Nexus Energy Center
– a great resource for improving
your home's energy efficiency,
reducing your utility bills
and providing a more
comfortable environment.
A non-profit with a mission to
build smart energy communities,
Nexus Energy Center was founded
by Ruchi Singhal. Her inspiration
for the center was spurred by time
spent in Raleigh, North Carolina.
ere she saw how the entire community diligently pursued energy efficiency.
When she moved to Huntsville, she believed the area was in a prime position to do the same.
With support from the Huntsville city government and a consortium of communities around
the southeast, in addition to grants from the Department of Energy, Singhal founded the
Nexus Energy Center in 2011.
e center quickly began using energy audits to help create a more energy-efficient home.
ese audits then formed the basis for suggested improvements, such as filling holes, sealing
cracks, adding insulation, as well as addressing the heating and air system. e center has
helped more than 1,700 homeowners.
Seeing the positive impact of the center's work propelled Singhal to find new funding sources.
She finally found a partner in Redstone Federal Credit Union.
