C.K. Smith Co., Inc., a Worcester fuel and energy services dealer for over 115 years, is going green. This week the company introduces its groundbreaking Alternative Energy and Services Division. The new division includes its environmentally-friendly Hybrid-Energy(TM) product line, propane delivery and service, and the plumbing services necessary to expertly install equipment powered by C.K. Smith's alternative energy.

C.K. Smith is particularly pleased to enter the exciting world of solar energy. Available to residential and commercial customers, the company's Hybrid-Energy solutions use solar panels in conjunction with existing oil, natural gas, propane, electric and wood pellet systems to produce heat and/or hot water. In fact, there are 16 ways in which solar energy can be applied to home comfort situations. C.K. Smith also plans to extend hybrid solar technology to swimming pool heating, hot tubs/spas, and air conditioning in 2009.

"We are proud to be at the forefront of the green energy revolution with our Alternative Energy and Services Division," said Bruce Fortin, C.K. Smith's President. "The division's Hybrid-Energy(TM) products are expected to dramatically decrease heating and hot water costs."

"We are always looking for ways to save our customers money," said Frank Cyr, Director of Equipment Sales. "In addition, the energy from the sun is free, its supplies are unlimited, and using solar energy produces no air or water pollution."

The reliable, efficient and eco-friendly Hybrid-Energy(TM) solar products can be integrated into any existing heating and/or hot water system. A solar collector, energy storage tank, solar panels and all controls are quickly and easily installed in the customer's home.

"With C.K. Smith's Hybrid-Energy(TM) solar products, more than 90 percent of incoming solar radiation is transferred to heat, and the system covers over 75 percent of hot water needs for a family of four," said Herb Seymour, Director, Alternative Energy and Services.

Federal and state tax credits are presently available for purchase of C.K. Smith's Hybrid-Energy(TM) products. There may be additional credits available depending on the location of your residence. All credits will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
