Maximizing Local Residents’ Home Energy Efficiency is Goal of New Home Energy Auditing Business

Pro Energy Consultant Franchise Owner Ryan Sult recently opened his home energy auditing business in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre-area. He says a home energy audit should always be the first step in making a home more energy efficient. Company's mission is to help homeowners save money, save energy and save the environment by going green and reducing their energy costs.

Wilkes-Barre, Penn. – April 24, 2010 –For homeowners in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area battling such home performance issues like comfort, excessive energy usage and poor indoor air quality, a solution may have arrived in the form of a home energy audit. At least that’s what professional home energy auditor Ryan Sult thinks. Sult was recently awarded a Pro Energy Consultants home energy auditing franchise locally.

“A home should not needlessly be costing you money,” said Sult, who previously worked in law enforcement for 10 years. “My job is to protect homeowners from high energy costs.”

Pro Energy Consultants, the nation’s first home energy auditing franchise, acts as an unbiased, third party as it diagnoses home performance issues for homeowners. The company, backed by more than 10,000 energy audits, also offers homeowners a guarantee. If, at the end of the test, homeowners don’t feel they’ve received valuable information about their home, then the energy audit is free. To successfully diagnose home performance issues, the company’s energy auditors first undergo extensive training at its Cleveland headquarters, followed by eight weeks of distance training.

Pro Energy Consultants’ customers often sing praises for their energy audit.

“The investment has been well worth it,” said Mark Hackert. “Like anything is gives a starting point by identifying the areas that can have the biggest benefit in reducing our energy cost/usage.”

The energy audit starts with the homeowner explaining the specific home performance issues he or she has been experiencing. Next, an electronic blower door is installed in an exterior door. Once activated, the blower door allows Sult to in essence take an “X-ray” of the home by using infrared thermal imaging to identify all the hidden building leakage areas. The entire process takes approximately one to three hours.

“It really takes a comprehensive, diagnostic energy audit by a professional using sophisticated equipment to remove all the guesswork and pinpoint what’s causing excessive energy usage and major comfort complaints,” said Sult. “It can also save homeowners from making unnecessary costly repairs, such as replacing a furnace or installing new windows.”

A detailed report with prioritized recommendations for maximizing the energy efficiency and comfort of the home is delivered to the homeowner within days of the energy audit.

“It’s great to have Ryan as part of our team,” said Pro Energy Consultants Managing Partner Derek Sola. “Homeowners are looking for affordable solutions for solving their comfort issues and reducing energy usage.”

According to Sola, his company has experienced considerable growth since being founded in 2008. He attributes this to the nation’s increased focus on fiscal responsibility and energy conservation. For example, several states are beginning to subsidize and reward homeowners who make their homes more energy efficient. One state, Nevada, has passed legislation making energy audits mandatory in the near future. 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.
