On Friday, the Huffington Post chose Salvatore Cavalieri as its “Greatest Person of the Day” for his work toward helping Americans save energy and lower their bills.
Cavalieri, a former construction worker, is the founder of Energy Sheriffs, a company that provides free home energy audits to homeowners in South Florida interested in saving money on energy bills. Following the free audit, Energy Sheriffs offer equipment and home improvement suggestions that yield major energy savings, and customers have the option of investing in whichever conservation measures they choose. Energy Sheriffs then install the purchased equipment and send families on their way to energy savings.
Cavalieri and his company stand steadfastly by their work, and offer a full refund to any customer who does not realize 25 percent savings on their energy bills within three months of the Sheriffs’ audit. “We haven’t returned a penny yet,” he told the Huffington Post.
The Energy Sheriffs offer fresh proof that home energy audits are a more-than-worthy investment that not only help the environment through greenhouse gas reduction and resource conservation, but also bring thousands of dollars in long-term savings to families across America. And during these tough economic times, the story of a dedicated visionary translating those powerful energy-saving benefits into a successful business further sweeten the appeal of home energy audits.
