Insulation and HVAC Contractors

Are you looking to upgrade your services so that you work will help qualify the Builders for ENERGYSTAR Certification and Epact 2005 Tax Incentives?

The rules have changed, and as of January 2, 2007 these programs are now hitting the street. Midwest Sustainable Energy Contractors is offering a one day seminar to bring builders and contractors up to speed with the new requirements for ENERGYSTAR and Epact 2005 Tax incentive certifications. Find out what this means to you at this instructional seminar.

The panel will address all questions, and those not covered in class will be answered by e-mail. Two months of phone tech support will also be included for each participant, to address questions as they come up in the field and to insure focus on compliancy issues. This instruction program will provide a head start to all those who attend. These new criteria for the certification process will not be attainable with anything less than a studied approach.
