Going Green with Home Inspection

With today's green-conscious consumers, environmental changes often begin at home. While families still recycle and install compact fluorescent bulbs, there has been an increased shift toward more dramatic, life-changing improvements -- from installing solar PV panels to solar thermal systems (replaces traditional water heaters). Homes that have fewer environmental impacts are on the rise, meaning more career opportunities for home inspectors.

The "green" movement is one of the fastest growing trends in America. With homeowners wanting to save money and make their homes environmentally healthier, home inspectors have a unique opportunity to upgrade their services. By adding "green" to your career, you can create new direction for your business -- and improve the environment at the same time.

Allied's Green Home Inspection Program prepares you to start a groundbreaking career with your ability to provide home inspections and target renewable energy sources. Going green will give your business and career an advantage -- find your niche in the home inspection field with your knowledge of the business of solar. Advise your clients how to make wise energy choices. You will be prepared to:

- Assess a home to determine how green it is

- Advise people how to improve the "greenability" of their homes

- Prepare people to highlight green aspects when they sell their home

Solar energy uses sunlight to generate electricity, heat and cool air, heat water and more -- creating opportunities to replace non-renewable resources with more "earth-friendly" renewable resources. Solar energy is naturally replenished in a short period of time and environmentally safe -- making it an ideal choice for energy solutions throughout the home.

Your home inspection career can gain an exciting edge with your knowledge of solar energy solutions and business practices. It is an opportunity to increase your career potential while assuming a positive role in the "green" industry. Turning a home into a green home can add value to the property and increase energy efficiency. Go green in your home inspection career and start a career that makes a difference every day.  Learn more about how to become a home inspector with Allied Schools.
