About Us
Founded in 1994, CEC is the most established and experienced BPI-certified contractor to serve New York homes and buildings. We also hold the largest State-issued home weatherization contract. This contract alone allows us to reach over 1,000 clients per year with State-assisted home improvement services.
CEC is on the forefront of building energy performance and green building technologies. We work to address the energy consumption and environmental impact of homes and buildings throughout metropolitan New York. Inefficient building performance not only increases our reliance on fossil fuel use, it adds to building and home management costs, undermines the health and well being of the surrounding community, and suppresses the development of local economies.
Our staff of over 70 highly competent, trained and certified professionals is dedicated to helping create social equity by addressing the needs of clients at all income levels and social and cultural backgrounds. This is reflective in both our practices and our workplace. CEC staff members are men and women who represent a diverse spectrum of generations, cultures, languages, and ethnic backgrounds.
