HOMESTAR Program
March 11, 2010
Guardian Industries has announced its support President Barack Obama's
$6 billion HOMESTAR program designed to create jobs and reduce home
energy consumption.
"The president has stressed the importance that HOMESTAR products
are manufactured in the United States. Guardian built its global
manufacturing base here in the United States and we have facilities
across the country in points north, south, east and west,"
says Russell Ebeid, chairman of the board.
Through its Science and Technology Center, Guardian's research and
developemnt efforts have focused on the development of high-performance,
energy-efficient products.
"The United States can significantly reduce its energy use
by promoting home retrofits that rely upon proven techniques and
materials," says Ebeid. "We support HOMESTAR because it
will save energy and lower homeowners' energy bills."
Through HOMESTAR, consumers would be eligible for rebates of up
to $3,000 at the point of sale for a variety of energy-saving investments
in their homes. The program is expected to save middle-class families
hundreds of dollars a year on their energy bills.
