Moorestown Community House Goes Green With Hutchinson

Like most nonprofits, Moorestown Community House (MCH) - the icon of historic Moorestown - is conscious of every penny spent. So when it came time to upgrade lighting and AC units to ensure a comfortable environment for its tenants and other customers who rent out space for events, Brad Kenney, executive director, looked for options that would not only save on costs but be good for the environment, too.

MCH turned to Hutchinson Mechanical Services, a regional provider of energy services, to come up with a solution. After performing a free energy assessment, Hutchinson determined that through Direct Install - offered by the NJ Office of Clean Energy - MCH was eligible for energy efficient upgrades and incentives that covered 70 percent of the cost to replace outdated lighting and AC units.

Hutchinson upgraded the majority of MCH’s lighting to LED, including outdoor areas and the parking lot, and installed upgraded, energy efficient AC units.

Over the years, MCH has made capital improvements over time. “If it wasn’t for Hutchinson and Direct Install, we wouldn’t have the needed funds on hand to replace everything at once,” says Kenney.

“I didn’t expect to see such a fast result in savings. The investment will pay for itself in less than 2 years,” continues Kenney. “We’re also experiencing a much more comfortable environment.”

“We seek out the latest strategies and technologies to help nonprofits like Moorestown Community House, businesses and government facilities reduce energy consumption and improve their bottom line,” said Ed Hutchinson, president, Hutchinson Mechanical Services. “Our turn-key solutions make it easy for nonprofits and businesses to become more energy efficient, cut expenses and go green.”
