(CSRwire) TORONTO,ONTARIO - May 21, 2008 – Newten Home Comfort Inc. announced today that it is offsetting its carbon emissions with Carbonfund.org, one of the country’s leading carbon offset organizations. As a CarbonFree(TM) Small Business Partner, Newten Home Comfort Inc. is offsetting carbon emissions from its business operations, which includes headquarter offices and a vehicle fleet. This commitment establishes Newten Home Comfort Inc. as an environmental leader in the home comfort community and demonstrates the proactive steps it is taking in the fight against global climate change.

Newten Home Comfort Inc. specializes in bringing energy efficient technology to home and business owners in order to reduce the negative environmental effects of traditional water heating methods. Newten Home Comfort Inc. offers a worry-free tankless water heater rental program that allows its customers to do their part in reducing carbon emissions, significant energy savings.

"Water heating is the second largest use of energy in a typical home, so switching to a tankless water heater is really the low-hanging fruit of energy efficiency projects. Tankless water heaters reduce the amount of energy you use and therefore they reduce your energy bill," said Joseph del Moral, Co-founder of Newten Home Comfort Inc. "We’re excited to operate more sustainably through carbon offsets with Carbonfund.org."
"Experts say we can greatly reduce our dependence on dirty power through simple energy efficiency and conservation," said Eric Carlson, Executive Director of Carbonfund.org. "Newten Home Comfort Inc.'s tankless water heaters are a great example of putting that principle into action, and now by offsetting the environmental impact of its own business, Newten is going the extra mile. That’s what the CarbonFree Small Business program is all about!"
