Solar energy for your home or business makes more sense now more than ever. High efficiency equipment, incentives and tax rebates make helping the environment cost effective. With our aging power grid and increased dependency on electricity, back up power using batteries or generators is essential. Let us help you nagivate through the complex web of environmental compliance ranging from dock permits to wetland delineation for your residential, commercial or municipal project.

Reduce your heating and cooling costs and help the environment. Recent advances in the efficiencies of heating and air conditioning equipment provide savings and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

It all started in 2007, when Augusta was mulling over how to install a solar photovoltaic system on her home.
Funny thing was, she could not find any contractors that installed solar pv.
So, she said to herself, why don't I do this myself?
Why don't I start a firm that designs and installs solar energy systems?
If I want it, there must be others that want it as well.
Fourth Coast Inc was formed in 2008 by Augusta Withington.
From there, the firm grew to over 20 employees to include design staff and installation crew.
Solar energy is the cleanest and most abundant renewable energy source on earth.
Why not use it.
Advances in technology in generating electricity and heating water have made solar energy effective with few moving parts.
Grid tied solar electric (photovoltaic) systems have two basic components: solar modules and inverters.
There are no moving parts.
Solar modules can be roof or ground mounted depending on shade, land availability, roof orientation and pitch.
The first step in evaluating your site includes an audit of your electric usage and discussions with you on options for mounting.
Back up power is of increasing popularity in recent years.
Power outages have tripled in the last 40 years as a result in our aging distribution network and thinning of utility maintenance crews.
Lack of sump pumps, space heating, and refrigeration during a power outage can result in thousands of dollars of losses, especially if you are away for the season or on vacation.
Incorporating a Generator into your project is often a priority for many homeowners in Northern New York.
Fourth Coast is an authorized Kohler Generator Dealer, offering natural gas, propane, gasoline and diesel powered generators up to 140 kW.
Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning consumes the largest percentage of energy usage in our homes today, consuming 56 % of our energy budget (EIA Residential Energy Survey).
Significant advances in technology have resulted in a number of options available to homeowners, whether a retrofit of an old farmhouse or new construction.
Geothermal heating and cooling, also referred to as ground source heat pumps, continue to gain momentum in the North Country.
Federal tax credits and NYSERDA rebates can make geothermal the right choice for your application.
Environmental Consulting Services are often the first step in developing any project.
Our staff can help you navigate the many environmental permitting and compliance requirements for municipal and commercial projects.
Residential projects can also require permitting such as wetland delineations or stream disturbance permits.
Permitting requirements should be reviewed at the start of every project.
Our staff works with all local permitting agencies, including local code enforcement officials, planning boards, utilities, NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, NYS Department of Health, US Army Corps of Engineers just to name a few.
