Angelheart Energy Makeover 2008

An Austin-based safe haven for abused and neglected children is receiving a complete energy home make-over by several area businesses and organizations. Angelheart Children’s Shelter has been battling electric bills nearly equal to their mortgage payment each month. However, with the help of AAFAME and BOMA Austin, they received a home energy make-over on Saturday, November 1st.

This worthwhile endeavor allowed both groups an opportunity to make a real difference in people’s lives in a very concrete way, saving the organization money and making this home more affordable and comfortable. By improving the home’s energy efficiency, we estimate it will save this organization as much as 25 percent a year, which could equate to about three months of energy use annually in operating cost, allowing Angelheart to use this money in other crucial areas.

An energy audit was performed on the 1970’s ranch-style home by industry professional. Based upon the findings, volunteers and others will donate not only their time but also materials, including: a new high-efficiency air-conditioning unit, new energy efficient washer/dryer set, new doors and windows and incandescent light bulbs with new compact fluorescent lights. A few of the tasks being performed on the shelter are: weather-stripping around the exterior doors, insulating outdoor power outlets and sealing windows with protective foam or caulk.

"Each month when we receive our electric bill for Angelheart, it’s a shock to the system," said Sheila Falco, director, Angelheart Shelter. "These improvements will have a huge impact on this organization and, more importantly, make this shelter feel more like a home for the 300 Central Texas children we help each year.”

"We can't even begin to express our appreciation and thank you for the gift of the Energy Makeover Project. Our daily operations run on the love and loyalty given to us by our community. It is only through the continued support of good friends like yourself that we are able to meet the special needs of the abused and neglected children who come into our care. I was amazed by your loyalty to these kids throughout your project. The children had a wonderful day writing notes, doing crafts and helping with the small construction projects. It helped them feel needed and proud of their accomplishments. I really hope I can help you understand what a blessing you are to these kids. The day you spent with them will positively affect them for the rest of their lives. The energy makeover will not only help support these kids with the additional funds we will save on our energy bills, it also lets the children, the ones living there now and the many more who will move in, know that there are people out there who really care for them. Thank you so much!!"
