EP27 Paradise found? Home performance contracting in Hawaii with Blake Reid
About this episode
Blake Reid shares with us the challenges and rewards of doing home performance work in Hawaii which has the most expensive energy, 12 climate zones, no energy code, an active volcano, and an aggressive state climate goal.
As a knowledgeable, ethical and honest "wiz kid" contractor, Blake made a huge decision and moved his family from Ithaca, NY to Hawaii to "set up shop" as a home performance contractor.
Listen to Blake describe some of his motivations to move as well as why he choose the name www.TerraWattHome.com for his company.
Blake shares many of his business techniques which meld with his personal philosophies and encourages all contactors not to "get stuck".
Listeners are encouraged to go to his website and read his blog posts, and if interested, fill out a contact request to get in touch with Blake.
