Franchise generates revenue making homes energy efficient

A remodeling franchise can generate additional revenue by making homes more energy efficient for their customers. Data from the Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS) shows energy consumption in homes steadily declining over the last 10 years with newer homes being more energy efficient. However many older homes still need a lot of work done on them to reduce their energy consumption. As energy costs increase there is the opportunity for remodeling franchises, home improvement franchises or handyman franchises.
