Why is EnergyARM Valuable to Contractors?

EnergyARM gives contractors who utilize the network several key benefits. First, once you join the network you will begin to receive RFPs and/or Request for Bids for energy improvement work based upon the trades or areas of your specialty. Second, no work will be sent to bid unless it has receive prior funding so you won’t be wasting your time bidding on projects that never actually get funded. Third, if you are the winning bidder, you will get an organized list specifying the work that needs to be performed plus a realistic timeline for completion.

Last but certainly not least, once you have completed your particular project or energy improvement and it has met with approval by the residential property owner and/or energy auditor, you will receive your payment via electronic banking download directly into your bank account. (Typically within 2 to 4 days after approval) No more waiting for 30, 60, 90 or more days to get paid! (Other arrangements for payment can be made if the electronic banking option is not appropriate.)
