Glen Rock Home Energy Audits at the $49 Community Rate
Some things in Glen Rock are built to last. The 570 ton boulder at Rock Road and Doremus Avenue, the stone from heaven the Lenape called Pamachapuka, rode a glacier twenty miles to get here and hasn't budged in 15,000 years. Your energy bills don't have to be so permanent. Starting in 2014, the Energy Smart Rock Homes program, created by the Glen Rock Environmental Commission and the Borough of Glen Rock, introduced local families to professional home energy audits, and Glen Rock residents continue to receive the $49 community rate on a Ciel Power audit today.
Why Glen Rock homes benefit most
Glen Rock grew up as a railroad suburb, and it still has two train stations for a town of about 12,000. Its housing stock shows that history: the median Glen Rock home dates to 1952, and roughly three in ten were built before 1940. Those pre-war colonials near the Main Line and post-war capes off Lincoln Avenue were built beautifully, but decades before anyone insulated to modern standards. Uneven bedrooms, a chilly first floor in January, an attic that bakes in July: these are not quirks, they are diagnosable and fixable conditions.

Local roots, national recognition

As Paul Sharar of the Glen Rock Environmental Commission put it at the time, the audits 'scientifically identify ways to reduce energy usage through the efficiency testing of combustion appliances, depressurization of houses to discover air leaks, and evaluation of existing insulation levels.'
Glen Rock has earned Sustainable Jersey certification repeatedly, including Silver level certifications in 2018 and 2021.
