I have decided to leave the Home Inspection Business. It has been a tough decision as I worked very hard these last 6 years on becoming the best inspector I could. I really want to thank Inspection News for providing such a great forum for inspectors to become better educated in the business. I know I would not be half the inspector I became if not for the information on this site. Special thanks to Jerry Peck for his willingness to take the time and help all. There is no doubt I would not have gotten the job stated below without my Home Inspection License and experience.
A opportunity arose that I could not say no. I have just accepted a job as an Energy Auditor/sales specialist for a non profit in the next town over from me. If you have to work for someone this is the dream job. You work from home. Go to the office once a month to pick up supplies and have meeting.
I get base salary and commission. Full extremely generous benefits. I start Aug 15th and go to classes for a month. I also have to get BPI Certified.
The Company is Conservation Services Group. Conservation Services Group (http://www.csgrp.com/index.html)
There client base is includes Utilities, commercial and residential construction.
Mostly I will be doing energy audits for residential homes. You do an evaluation, print up a report on site and if people want to upgrade insulation, heating systems, windows etc I can sign them up and they get great paybacks and no interest loans. I did one on my house (How I found the job)
1953 ranch needed wall insulation. The quote to blow in insulation was $1,800
NStar the local Electric Company will pay almost half. So I can get my house insulated for the price of one tank of oil. The payback is 1 year according to the computer printout. We also install new energy star light bulbs for free. They put in 23 light bulbs for free. They say they last up to 5 years and the auditor says it can save a dollar per light bulb per month on your electric bill.
I think this is good career move as the company is growing fast and the sky is the limit. I have always been into environmental issues and the country really needs to move forward in this direction to limit our addiction to oil.
I will continue to post and maybe as I learn more about energy and building practices I can post some good information.
