The problem it solves
Homeowners often cannot identify energy loss sources in their homes. This service provides a clear visual representation of issues, making it easier to justify necessary repairs.
How it makes money
The service could charge for inspections and offer additional services for insulation or duct sealing as part of a package deal.
Skills you need
Technical knowledge of infrared technology, home energy efficiency, and customer service skills to explain findings to homeowners.
The market, and why this works now
The increasing focus on energy efficiency regulations, such as the Energy Independence and Security Act, drives demand for services that identify energy leaks in homes. A viable first revenue move is to list the service in local chambers of commerce directories, which can connect with homeowners seeking energy audits. A key risk involves the initial capital required for infrared inspection equipment, which can be significant, potentially affecting cash flow in the early stages of the business.
