Nation's Leading Green Franchise Nearly Triples Number of Franchisees in Two Months

Posted on: Wednesday, 13 May 2009, 09:04 CDT

- Pro Energy Consultants Now Offers Residential Energy Audits in Nine Additional Markets -

CLEVELAND, May 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Pro Energy Consultants, the nation's first home energy audit franchise, announced today it has almost tripled its number of franchisees in the past two months. Nine new franchisees have joined Pro Energy and will offer residential energy audits in the following new territories: Ann Arbor, MI; Austin, TX; Birmingham, AL; Chapel Hill/Durham, NC; Charlotte (North), NC; Lansing/Kalamazoo, MI; Middlesex County, NJ; Pittsburgh, PA; and West Oakland/Livingston/North Washtenaw, MI.

All three Michigan markets, Birmingham, Pittsburgh and Middlesex County (NJ) will be open for business in June, while the Austin, Chapel Hill/Durham and North Charlotte franchises will begin operations later this summer. Pro Energy Consultants provides homeowners with qualified residential energy auditing designed to maximize the home's energy efficiency and reduce energy costs.

"We are thrilled to announce Pro Energy's rapid expansion into nine additional U.S. markets, and we're excited to welcome our new franchisees to the Pro Energy family," said Derek Sola, managing partner of Pro Energy Consultants. "Pro Energy not only presents a great opportunity for entrepreneurs interested in starting their own home-based business, but it takes advantage of one of the most significant trends today -- the 'greening' of America. As oil, gas and electric prices have skyrocketed, the American public has become more energy conscious than ever before and this trend has pundits predicting that energy and environmental businesses have a very bright future and potential for significant growth."

In response to the nation's focus on fiscal responsibility and energy conservation, Pro Energy has embarked on an aggressive growth campaign that includes the goal of adding at least 40 new franchisees this year. In addition to the nine new markets, Pro Energy has franchises currently operating in Cleveland, Jacksonville, Las Vegas, Evansville, Charlotte, Albuquerque and Detroit.

With more than 14 years of residential energy auditing and franchising experience, Pro Energy Consultants offers entrepreneurs the opportunity to join its franchise network and provide their respective communities with professional, standardized energy auditing. Founded in 2008 by a team of nationally renowned energy, construction and business experts, Pro Energy Consultants represents an ideal "green franchise" opportunity given the current economic conditions by providing interested franchisees with a low-cost of entry. The total initial investment, including the franchisee fee, is $35,000.

Pro Energy provides comprehensive technical, operational and marketing support, as well as training from Master Trainer, Mark Cannella, one of the nation's leading energy auditors and instructors. Pro Energy also capitalizes on an industry with high demand and very little competition. In fact, many states are beginning to subsidize and reward homeowners who make their homes more energy efficient. Nevada has made energy audits mandatory when a home changes ownership and many more states are considering taking this step.

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 air flow 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. This technical testing and equipment gives homeowners a clear picture of exactly where their home is losing energy, and therefore, wasting money.
