Do you have Treasure in your walls?

My Name is Matthew Shields Author of Monergy.  Recently there has been a story in the news about an Ohio contractor that found $180,000.00 in the wall of a home he was renovating.  You hear about stories like this every now and then and I’m sure wonder “Do I have any money in my walls”

During the great depression it was very common for people to stash money away inside of their homes.  This money a lot of times was forgotten about or perhaps something happened to the person who put it there before he ever told anyone.

My company The Emc2 Group is an energy management consulting company.  We do energy evaluations for businesses and companies to determine what they can do to save energy, this directly adds to their bottom line.

As energy prices continue to rise the need to know how your home is using and losing energy is becoming more important.  Your home might very well be pick pocketing you and you have no idea.  When we perform an energy evaluation on your home we use an infrared camera to see inside of your walls.  We can detect not only were your hard earned cash is slipping through the cracks in your home but also

·         any water infiltration that could be damaging the largest investment you will make in your life

·         if you do have water  spilling into your home mold may be an issue, we can see that

·         older wiring with loose joints can cause arching and sparking which will create heat, and can cause a fire.  Did you know that FEMA reports during a typical year, home electrical problems account for 67,800 fires, 485 deaths, and $868 million in property losses. Home electrical wiring causes twice as many fires as electrical appliances. We can see if you have any issues with your wiring

·         Problems with heat ducts that  blow the expensive warm air to places that it doesn’t need to go, Do you have a cold room in your home?  You may have a problem with one of the heat ducts  that feed that room

We literally can see anything that might be hiding inside of your walls, things that can change your life for the better or for worse.
