BUMP!

I have been in the construction/inspection business since 1972. I also am BPI/RESNET certified, own several Fluke Cameras: TIR1 and TIR4. I have a Wisconsin Blower door. There seems to be too much time invested in this type business to generate the optimum income.
I am now concentrating on commercial roof inspections and thermal imaging for other home inspectors.
What level training do you have?
I suggest you go to a top notch school and obtain at least Level 1.

How have you done to date with energy audits?

Hi Pete,

Congrats. I'll give you a call next week to catch up on your adventures.

I've got a postcard mailing going out for energy audits on Monday so we'll see how the consumer responds.

I do see the blower door as more of a tool for doing the seal-up. But we'll see what flys with the consumer.

Hi Don, Thanks. I look forward to your call, as always.

Hi. Peter, nice to see you expanding in your career. Hope it works out for you.

How's the construction bussiness part of it?
I'm still down your way on that house in Brentwood.
Probably another month.

Take care.

Marcel

Hi Marcel, Construction is slow but I'm meeting with a sales rep. from an insulation company and may add blown in insulation to my services.

Right now I'm refocusing my construction company to be more of a performance contractor specializing in energy home improvement and audits. Time will tell but NH is scheduled to get 26 million for weatherization. This means we will go from the state insulating app. 800 home a year to 16,000 a year for the next three years, of which these homes will need before and after energy audits which include blower door and thermal infrared, hopefully my investments in tools and training over the past few years will pay off.

Oh, did I mention, the snow is almost gone.
