CHANGING THE MAP...

20 years of greening America. In 2009, we are pleased to celebrate the 20th anniversary of our ground-breaking ‘eco’ services. Back in 1989 when ‘green’ was hardly on the minds of the American homeowner, our Co-Founder and Academy Chief Instructor, Charlie Szoradi, conducted his first in-home consulting services. His pioneering spirit and tenacity over the past two decades has helped to re-shape the way that Americans think about energy consumption and savings in their own homes. Since buildings account for over 40% of our national energy consumption, every homeowner can make a difference. Charlie is the original GREENandSAVE Consultant and he spearheads the training of our Academy professionals.

Here is what people across the country have to say…

“Northern California is known for its ‘eco’ factor, but until my wife and I met with our GREENandSAVE consultant, we did not know about the Savings and Paybacks on going green. We also never had any idea how easy it was to save money on our utility bills. Now we know the breakdown of the paybacks on each tactic that are best for our house.”
Scott C. - San Francisco, CA

“As a single guy and first time homeowner, I had a lot of questions about saving money. My Consultant from GREENandSAVE helped identify a whole range of ways to save money. Plus, he also added great ideas on the exterior of the house, since I wanted to add more ‘curb appeal’ with landscaping features and a new front entrance.”
Erik H. - Los Angeles, CA

“With a young family, I want to keep my house warm and bright, not cold and dark to save money. Over the two hours that he spent at our house, the GREENandSAVE consultant gave me a universe of information that has helped take the bite out of Colorado winters without taking a bite out of my wallet.”
Jonathan G. - Aspen, C

“As a resident of a big oil state like Texas, I was skeptical of the ‘green’ scene, but when I saw the GREENandSAVE spreadsheets and tip files, I knew that it was time for a change. Now my big house does not have as big bills.”
Fritz K. - Austin, TX

“My consultant had come to our house, and I was so impressed with his insight that I had him come to my restaurant to help out there.”
Tommy P. - Chicago, IL

“We were building a new home on the ocean, and our consultant not only helped guide us into using natural light and the outdoor spaces more effectively, but he made sure that the recommendations met the standards of the Nantucket Historic District Commission. We passed the historic ‘test’ and created a beautiful energy-efficient home that was incredibly well integrated into the landscape.”
Dorothy S. - Nantucket, MA

“We were thinking about going solar, and out GREENandSAVE consultant put it all in perspective with great information on the costs, performance, and the tax credits. He also helped with great recommendations on interior ceiling fans and even new ‘composite’ materials for our deck project.”
Shelly, M. - Wilmington, DE

“We met our GREENandSAVE consultant at the great GREEN Expo where they had a booth and the company founder was one of the event speakers. Since we live out on a farm, we wanted to make our home as energy efficient as possible. We got great recommendations!”
Sharon D. - Elkton, MD

“With a little house, every inch counts. We were able to finish the basement and transform it into a walk-out garden apartment. Our consultant helped maximize the space and use techniques like light sharing in certain rooms to really help save energy, while also forming a more dynamic living experience.”
Barbara S. - Washington, DC

“We were totally transforming our house with a major 3,000 sq. ft.renovation and addition, and by adding the southern exposure, correctly sized overhangs, ceiling fans, dual-flush toilets, and other cost-saving features, our energy and overall utility bills are less than HALF of any of our neighbors homes.”
Tyler S. - Charlottesville, VA

“We needed help on everything from changing out the light bulbs to ideas on the interior layout. Our consultant was a great help and we have brought him back on several occasions. He’s part of the family!”
Kathy S. - Vero Beach, FL

“I see an opportunity to take the ‘green’ approach to multi-family properties. So, our GREENandSAVE consultant not only helped me see how to save money, but he also helped inspire the key message ‘cornerstone’ points and brand logo of our new company. The work has translated well beyond the physical apartment building that we own. Thanks GREENandSAVE.com! - Here’s a plug for us and our page on ‘green’ investing ”

More Testimonials relative to the upcoming course in Philadelphia, PA:

“The GREENandSAVE consultant taught us a lot, but one thing that comes to mind is the whole house fan that significantly reduced our Air Conditioning costs this past summer.”
Kathleen R. - Main Line Philadelphia, PA

“We have a large house with a home office. I had already had an Energy Audit from a different company, but there were no ‘action items’. Our GREENandSAVE consultant gave us the playbook to start saving money, and he even helped with something as simple as re-seating the furnace air filter, so that our home is healthier and the furnace will last longer.
Ravi B - Blue Bell, PA

“My ‘Home Efficiency’ consultant from GREENandSAVE came out one evening and over a couple of hours showed me dozens of ways to save money. I could not figure out why one room was drafty, but in a matter of minutes he spotted the air gap between the access doors to a second floor knee wall area. He also showed me how to set the Programmable Thermostat. He said that 70% are not programmed, so I am now at least one more person saving money and energy. Instead of just telling me to set it, or setting it for me, he took the time like a coach to let me learn how to do it.”
John G. - Coatesville, PA

“We live in what is called a ‘park house’ because we lease it from the Parks Department. This means that every improvement we have to show to our landlord in order to credit against our lease. Our GREENandSAVE consultant was excellent at the whole process from the first visit through to help lining up the contractors.”
Derek C. - West Chester, PA

“We learned the pros and cons of heat pumps, solar thermal, and solar Photovoltaic from our GREENandSAVE ‘Efficiency’ consultation. We also learned about the tax credits since we use our separate garage as an office. Knowing that we needed to wait until early 2009, to get the full tax advantages on our house, really helped!”
Shawn K. - Valley Forge Mountain, PA

“Converting a townhouse into a medical office is no easy feat. Our GREENandSAVE consultant inspired us to do everything we could to create a healthy and eco-friendly environment. Form toxic free ‘Zero VOC’ paint to Bamboo floors, we are now taking a ‘green’ leadership role.”
Robert S. - Center City
