"Other financial institutions blocked our
ideas to help the community," says Singhal.
"But John Cook, Vice President of Lending
at Redstone Federal Credit Union, offered
so much support. Even at our very first
meeting, Redstone was already offering
ideas on how to help the community."
is help came through Redstone's
Community Partner Loan Program.
By partnering with Redstone,
the center now offers low-cost,
one-percent, 24-month loans to
homeowners for qualified energy-
saving home improvements.
"e aim of our Community Loan Program
is, in part, to be a catalyst for positive change
in our communities," said Peter Alvarez,
Assistant Vice President of Redstone's
Business Development. "e important work
that Nexus Energy is doing to improve our
communities aligns perfectly with our goal
for the Loan Program," added Alvarez.
With the advice they receive from Nexus
Energy Center, homeowners can save an
average of 20 percent on their utility bills.
e Nexus Energy Center also partners
with CASA (Care Assurance System for the
Aging) to provide no-cost services to help
disadvantaged, elderly homeowners. e
Comfort Project, as it's called, has been a
wonderful relief to so many in the local area.
To help entice the community to become
more energy efficient, the center takes a
tiny home to various events, schools and
even parades. e home showcases a wide
selection of methods to increase energy
efficiencies, including solar power, foam
insulation, tankless water heater, and
ductless air conditioning.
