A Letter from Jim Conlon

President of Elysian Energy

Hello, and thank you for visiting our site.

I hope you gather the information you need to make good decisions. That is our business in a nutshell – we provide expert information to homeowners and builders to empower them to make more cost-effective and sustainable choices.

When I started the company in 2007, one of my first clients was a young couple with two adorable small children. They invited me to do an energy audit just to confirm they were making the right choice by replacing their windows. They had been told by a window company that they needed new windows (for $40,000!!!) and wanted to be sure they were spending their money wisely. After conducting the audit, I informed them new windows would only help a little bit in terms of comfort and savings (and much less than the window salesman had “guaranteed”). In fact, after using powerful modeling software to compute their house’s energy pathways and savings, I found that they would benefit far more by focusing on adding insulation and sealing the air leakage points of the house…for less than 1/10th of the price.

When I was driving home from that site visit, I remember scratching my head and thinking of better uses for $40,000. Then I thought that the savings 15 years from now would make a huge dent in those children’s college tuition. This is why we do what we do.

At Elysian Energy we believe that energy efficiency helps empower our clients to improve their lives by saving them money, improving their comfort, and protecting the environment in which they live.

Please explore the site to find out more about who we are, what our values are, and what services we provide.

Thanks again for visiting our site, and thanks for taking the first step towards reducing your energy bills and your environmental impact...gathering information.

Sincerely,

Jim Conlon, President
