2012-05-09T14:07:31Z

The Entech Group Inc., a leading energy, engineering and environmental services company in NJ, confirms that the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (EDA) is no longer accepting new applications for the Petroleum Underground Storage Tank Remediation, Upgrade and Closure Program for non-leaking tanks. This means that property owners in need of oil tank removal services in NJ will not be receiving funding from the state.

Although the funding is currently on hold, NJ property owners may still apply for funding by submitting an application that will be date stamped and held until, if and when, sufficient funds become available.

Property owners who are uncertain about whether or not they require oil tank removal services can contact The Entech Group in NJ for a free assessment. Entech offers NJ property owners an Environmental Liability Assessment Program that includes a complimentary consultation of the underground storage tank, advice and guidance to properly address all recognized environmental concerns, as well as a Summary of Findings letter for use and future submission to state governmental agencies, legal representatives and / or insurance representatives. According to Entech, the results of their findings will be a basis to advance an oil tank removal project to a swift and successful conclusion.

Oil Tank Removal Services in NJ

The Entech Group offers oil tank removal services in NJ as well as site remediation if a leak has occurred. NJ homes that are older than 15 years and still have the original underground oil tank are advised to have it removed.

An underground oil tank has the potential to contaminate soil and even drinking water if a leak occurs. A spill can contaminate groundwater affecting private wells, other nearby drinking water supplies, lakes, rivers and reservoirs. It is also not uncommon for the contamination to spread to neighboring properties.

Working with The Entech Group and their Licensed Site Remediation Professional (LSRP) can help oil tank removal in NJ be completed at an accelerated pace.

Homes With Previously Abandoned Underground Storage Tanks in NJ on the Rise

2012-05-09T13:57:47Z

The Entech Group, Inc., an energy, engineering and environmental company in New Jersey, has issued an alert to property owners, lawyers and real estate agents about the increasing rate of abandoned underground storage tanks (UST) found in NJ. For the past twenty years, Entech has been a leading service provider for the proper removal and installation of storage tank systems.

NJ realtors should be aware that an abandoned underground oil tank could be a source of soil and ground water contamination. Some abandoned oil tanks in NJ have been left with oil still inside, and under certain conditions, may have adverse affect on our environment. Since the lifespan of an oil tank is only about 15 years, many of these older tanks face the risk of corrosion and deterioration. This can also cause a potential cave-in or collapse.

According to the Entech Group Inc., of NJ, the issue of abandoned tanks doesn’t surface until a homeowner has an inspection conducted on the home. Unfortunately, these inspections are routinely performed one to two weeks before closing. Many banks, homebuyers and insurance carriers will request oil tank removal before the sale of the home is final, which can cause significant delays.

Lease Solar Panels in NJ With New Program from The Entech Group Inc.

2012-04-04T19:23:45Z

The Entech Group Inc, a leading energy, engineering and environmental services company in NJ, has introduced new leasing programs for homeowners that are ready to go solar. The leasing program provides NJ homeowners the opportunity to spread the cost of their solar system over time and to potentially start saving money on their electric bill right away.

Many NJ residents are turning to solar panel systems to defend themselves from increasing utility rates. According to The US Department of Energy, electricity utility costs will more than double in the next five years. Homeowners installing residential solar panels in NJ will be well protected from these anticipated cost hikes.

The Entech Group, Inc. installs solar power systems in NJ and is now offering leasing incentives for NJ homeowners that qualify.

Benefits of the NJ solar panel leasing program include:

$0 down payment option
Low monthly payments
Option to buy-out your system early or at the end of the lease term
Potential opportunity to expand your system later to meet your future energy needs (electric vehicles, home addition)
Flexible end of lease options—renew the lease, purchase the system or request removal at no cost
Full system maintenance, insurance and power production guarantee included with program
Solar renewable energy certificates (SREC’s) and income are owned by you
Professional installation with the highest standard of quality and customer service from The Entech Group, Inc.

In addition to the instant savings NJ homeowners will realize on their energy bill, solar power systems also increase the value of a home, which can repay homeowners quite handsomely when it’s time to sell. Some studies suggest that a home’s value can increase $20,000 for every $1,000 reduction in annual energy costs. Plus any electricity produced from the solar power system will allow homeowners to accumulate energy certificates. These New Jersey Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SREC) can be sold and provide an additional yearly income.

Having residential solar panels installed in NJ has never been a smarter choice. And because Entech’s solar systems are a proven technology backed by a 5-year system warranty and a 20-year manufacturer’s warranty, homeowners will be enjoying significant electric savings for the next quarter century or more.
