Life can be crazy, especially if you're a parent or you just have a demanding job and what seems like a neverending list of responsibilities. Maybe you really want to take the necessary steps to do right by Mother Nature and green up your home but you don't have the time or the skills to pull it off on your own. For those who fill that description, there is a new service that's beginning to crop up that might just spread like wildfire.
Think green concierge, where professionals come to a residence and assess its energy loss and whole house systems efficiency via an arsenal of high tech devices. Once they detect vampire energy suckers -- such as via the attic, appliances, doors and windows -- they offer recommendations on how to seal up the home and either offer a quote to complete the project themselves or make recommendations on green material suppliers and contractors. This all-in-one solution can end up being a huge relief for people who have no idea where to begin in their quest to go green.
Green Homes Concierge in Great Britain is one such business, charging 199 British pounds (the equivalent of about $328 American dollars) for a full year subscription to their service. In addition to completing an entire house check, they also issue a report detailing the energy loss problems that need to be remedied. For the remainder of the year, they commit to dispensing the homeowner with information on government energy grants as well as supplying an ongoing list of resources, quotes, product suggestions, etc. that will ensure that the home becomes a model of green efficiency. Now that's a niche that I can get used to!
