MCE for Texas Realtors

 In Texas, as in most states Realtors are required to take M.C.E courses or Mandatory Continuing Education as a part of keeping their license active. 411 Energy Experts has been approved by TREC to teach MCE. Today the company has announced it will begin offering the 411 Energy Experts "Boosting sales with energy audits" a 3 credit hour course. Realtors will have the opportunity to learn about "what is an energy audit" and how it can help save their clients money not only in the purchase process, but after they move in as well.
411 Energy Experts is also creating a whole new website platform to enable Realtors, remodelers, home inspectors and just about anyone else interested in energy or a career in energy to have access to information and education. Set to relaunch in early 2011, 411 Energy Experts will set the stage as the go to place for anyone working in or considering a career in the energy auditing and weatherization field. Stay tune for more information.
Happy Holidays!!

Saving Money with Energy Renovations

A good man law is saving money to keep the big boss happy! One way to do that is to make sure your castle is energy efficient. Energy renovation is the remodeling of your homes energy performance. The older a home gets the worst it performs thus using more energy. A home should be evaluated every 5 years for energy performance this should be done by a certified auditor using a blower door test to determine where the energy is going and can pin point the best methods to fix those leaks.
 I have seen as much as 40% cut from energy bills by having an audit and performing the recommended energy renovation work. 40% guys! that could equal a lot more date nights..which means you might get lucky!...and get to watch the game on Sunday cause the Big Boss is comfortable!! not to mention the extra cash means beer in the frig too!
Til next time!
