“Your Energy Team” was formed by Bill Crookston DCMS, Inc. (Design & Construction Management Services) in 2010 for the purpose of providing homeowners with honest, accurate and practical advice in the area of energy management. When we talk about energy management we are talking about a balanced approach of reducing usage, lowering cost and improving comfort with great consideration to your out of pocket expenditure and how long it will take you to recover your investment.

This process begins with a comprehensive energy audit conducted by a qualified and highly trained technician. Each member of our team brings a different perspective, based on their expertise and experience, to insure all aspects are considered. All team members are time tested and proven to be legitimate, honest and expert businesses in their fields. I have worked with and trusted all of these team members for many years and stake my reputation on their qualifications.

We find that many energy audits are incomplete or are driven by the “save energy at any cost mentality”, we do not think most homeowner’s share that attitude but, are concerned about energy conservation in a practical sense. Without a comprehensive audit and a practical evaluation of that audit, most audits do not produce good results. We also find that each source of repairing the problems identified by the audit such as; window companies, insulators, heating contractor and the like, are not experts in the others fields and often miss the best course of action for the home owner. Some will even try to fit their product into your need even if it won’t benefit you at all.

A few examples are; there’s no benefit to upgrading your heating and cooling system if you need insulation or have excessive air leakage, you only pump the heat to the outside. There’s little benefit to replacing windows if the overall air seal in your home is improper, the heat just escapes by a different exit. You’ve heard the term holistic medicine “treating the whole and not the symptom” our approach to your homes energy management is similar, we evaluate and treat the whole. Treating symptoms is expensive and often ineffective, rarely producing good results.

That’s where our service becomes valuable. We represent the homeowner’s interest and goals. With our knowledge of construction, experience working with these different services and understanding of the audit, we will provide you with a clear understanding of what the information means and help you identify a course of actions that will save you money, improve your comfort level and accomplish it with practicality and a return on investment. We will provide you with all of your options give you our recommendations and allow you to make the choices that are right for you. We will provide you with competitive prices and expert services to correct the problems you choose to correct and give you the opportunity to recover you audit fee by discounting the work we perform at a rate of 10% up to the cost of the audit.
