Lindenhurst, NY March 24, 1997 -- What do our country's energy and youth have in common? SNS Energy Distribution Corp. (SNS), a distributor of many successful energy conservation products, based in Lindenhurst, considers them to be our nation's most precious resources for a better tomorrow. That is why they are announcing a new marketing
campaign, entitled the Energy & Youth Preservation Program, that links the two together.

The program works this way: for every MICROTherm that SNS sells to a customer, SNS will donate $100 to a non-profit youth organization. MICROTherm is an energy saving device for commercial hot water heaters and boilers that guarantees lower fuel bills. Actual installations have proven a 10-20% savings in fuel usage.

"We are the exclusive distributors of MICROTherm and are extremely impressed with its energy saving ability," said Stuart Schwartz, CEO, SNS. "We want to encourage every commercial client to ask about MICROTherm and once they discover the benefits of the product, install one. Not only will they save substantially on fuel, but they will also be contributing to their community's youth through our Energy &Youth Preservation Program.

Schwartz was inspired to create this program after seeing Aston Hotels, a Hawaiian hotel chain share time and money with underprivileged children as a way of giving back to the community. "As I witnessed this corporation's willingness to help these needy young adults, I made a connection between what we do as energy conservation product distributors and what this customer is doing -- helping to preserve two of our most precious resources.

Corporations currently participating in the Energy & Youth Preservation Program include, Aston Hotels, Sears, Macy's, Hyatt Hotels and Marriott Hotels. Those interested in learning more about the program should contact Jason Schwartz,
President, SNS, (516) 225-9800.

SNS and its parent corporation have been in the mechanical sales, service and engineering industry since 1975. SNS Energy Distribution (SNS) was createdin 1992 to develop utility sales as deregulation develops. Catering to the largest commercial and industrial users, SNS has become the distributor for many successful energy conservation products nationally and internationally.
