Pro Energy Franchise Information:

Pro Energy Consultants has been a leader in the energy auditing and home performance industry since 1994. Today, we are the nation's largest and fastest growing energy auditing franchise system with franchise locations from coast to coast. More importantly, our franchisees find themselves right in the middle of the exploding "Green" movement, a movement that has become one of the most significant forces in our economy today. And a home energy audit, the application of a holistic building science approach to your home in order to determine wasteful energy usage, is fast becoming the most critical first step taken by homeowners looking to become more energy efficient and more fiscally responsible.

Why is the energy auditing industry exploding?

1. There are hundreds of millions of homeowners throughout the U.S. And we all pay our share of utility bills. As ideas like sustainability become "sexy" and financial restraint once again becomes "cool", many Americans are searching for ways to be more "green" and to save money.



2. While many green decisions, like solar installations and renewable energy options represent significant investments and long ROI's, having an energy audit performed on your home, often for just a few hundred dollars, is a practical and meaningful first "green" step that will almost always result in a more energy efficient home ( and lower utility bills).



3. While the Green movement and the economy are pushing homeowners to be more responsible with their energy usage, the government is helping to push energy auditing to its spot as the most important home service of the next decade. With billions of dollars in federal tax incentives enticing homeowners to make their homes more energy efficient combined with the growing trend of cities and municipalities enacting legislation that mandates an energy audit during a home transaction, energy auditing is quickly becoming a multi-billion dollar industry.

Did You Know?

• According to Pike Research, the home energy auditing business -- which it called "a strong indicator of the coming of age for energy efficient homes" -- will grow from $8.1 billion in 2009 to $23.4 billion by 2014



• The same report found that that the market for energy-efficient home improvements nationwide will rise from $38.3 billion last year to $50.2 billion by 2014

Our franchisees are building thriving businesses and enjoying unparalleled success.

So what do we do and how do we do it?

Energy Auditing, the use of thermographic imaging to determine wasteful energy use, was previously only available to big business and industry. For years, businesses with high energy usage and critical mechanical systems have been using thermographic energy audits to determine energy efficiency and to prevent mechanical breakdown. Today, demand for anything that will help residential consumers save money is at an all-time-high. At the same time, thermographic imaging technologies have become considerably less expensive, allowing auditors like Pro Energy to
offer residential energy audits for just a few hundred dollars.

Why is it exploding?

1. Many homeowners are aware of how inefficient their homes are when it comes to energy usage. They are out there, scrambling to figure out what to improve on their homes. New Windows? Doors? Sealed ducts? New furnace? All these improvements represent significant investments for the average homeowner. And the more research they do, the more confused they become. What does the window salesman think is needed? You guessed it! New windows! The HVAC salesman? A new furnace or air-conditioner, what a surprise. What the average consumer has been clamoring for is affordable, unbiased advice from a third party expert. That is exactly what an energy audit provides.
2. Everyday, thousands of Americans are going "Green". While less energy usage saves us money, it also helps our environment, and that's a win-win scenario that has us all interested. As we all try to figure out how we can do our part in the green movement, reducing the amount of fossil fuels we burn, especially those we're consuming wastefully and needlessly, is a pretty good place to start.
