"Recurve has been hard at work for over six years defining the home performance industry and helping contractors and homeowners create more energy-efficient homes; we're honored to be recognized by Inc. magazine for our continued success," said Andy Leventhal, CEO, Recurve.
Great opportunity remains for green energy remodeling companies to grow their businesses. According to the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE), nearly $13 billion worth of energy in the form of heated or cooled air escapes through holes and cracks from 90 million US homes. Reducing energy use by 25% in these homes would reduce greenhouse gasses by the equivalent of taking 1/2 of US passenger cars off the road.
Recurve expects further expansion as it begins to offer its software to other companies. "Our deep understanding of the challenges that Home Performance Contractors face uniquely positions us to understand the tools and services needed to make them successful. We're committed to delivering the highest quality and most robust software tools, professional services and training to make each of our customers successful and to improve the energy efficiency in US homes," said Leventhal.
