Pro Energy Consultants Opens Location in Medina City; Owner Plans to Save Homeowners Energy

Pro Energy Consultant Franchise Owner Greg Jones recently opened his energy auditing business in Medina City. He says an energy audit should always be the first step in making a home or light commercial office building more energy efficient. Company's mission is to help home and business owners save money, energy and the environment by going green and reducing energy usage.

MEDINA CITY, Ohio – Aug. 24, 2010 –Medina-area residents battling such home performance issues like comfort, excessive energy usage and poor indoor air quality need to consider having an energy audit, according to professional energy auditor Greg Jones. Jones was recently awarded a Pro Energy Consultants home energy auditing franchise locally.

“I know that winters here are brutal and summers can be hot and muggy, which creates many comfort and energy usage issues,” said Jones, a lifetime resident of Northeast Ohio. “An energy audit can help homeowners solve these issues. I look forward to serving my community and helping the environment at the same time.”

Pro Energy Consultants is the nation’s first energy auditing franchise. As an unbiased, third party, it’s focused on diagnosing building performance issues for homes and light commercial buildings. The company, backed by more than 11,000 energy audits and 15 years’ experience, also offers a guarantee. If, at the end of the test, customers don’t feel they’ve received valuable information about their home or business office, then the energy audit is free. To successfully diagnose home performance issues, the company’s energy auditors first undergo extensive training from its building performance and business experts, followed by eight weeks of continuing education training.

Jones’ customers have found the energy audit beneficial.

“The Pro Energy audit was a great way to find areas of our home where we can make changes to reduce our energy loss,” said Kathy Novak of Strongsville, who said she learned “simple things like sealing gaps or adding some insulation.”

Added Novak, “The audit was informative and I believe will pay for itself in energy cost savings.”

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 pulls air into the home and allows Jones 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 two 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 Jones. “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 Greg 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.
