Nevada’s Progressive Energy Legislation Makes Las Vegas Ideal Market for New Pro Energy Consultant

CLEVELAND – May 03, 2009 – Pro Energy Consultants, the nation’s first home energy audit franchise, has announced its expansion into Las Vegas, Nev., with the signing of a new franchisee. The company will provide local homeowners with standardized, comprehensive energy audits designed to maximize the home’s energy efficiency and reduce energy costs.

“With some of the most progressive energy legislation in the country, Nevada—and especially Las Vegas—is a perfect market for us,” said Pro Energy Consultants Managing Partner Kris Simonich. “Plus its intense heat and the environmentally conscious populace make Las Vegas even more of an ideal location for our service.”

Pro Energy Consultants uses state-of-the-art infrared imaging and blower-door testing to determine wasteful energy use in a home or facility. The process begins when a blower door is installed to the home’s front door frame. The blower door acts like a giant fan and blows air out of the home, exaggerating the airflow and pressurization of the house and making energy leakage far more detectable. Pro Energy Consultants then uses the latest in infrared technology to scan the structure and systems in the home.

“Our comprehensive testing and technical equipment gives homeowners a clear picture of exactly where their home is losing energy, and therefore, wasting money,” said Eileen Ruiz, owner of the newly awarded franchise.

According to Simonich, Pro Energy has experienced considerable growth since being founded in 2008. He attributes this largely to the nation’s increased focus on fiscal responsibility and energy conservation. Several states are beginning to subsidize and reward homeowners who make their homes more energy efficient. Nevada has passed legislation making energy audits mandatory in the near future, and many more states are considering similar legislation. In addition, many states will receive millions of dollars this year in stimulus grants for energy-efficient projects, including weatherization of homes.
