Some homeowners may be wary of the legitimacy of HVAC contractors who have branched into providing home-performance services. One way to allay their fears is to present evidence of certification in this field. Here is a look at what’s new and coming soon in the world of home-performance credentials.
Building Performance Institute Inc. (BPI) rolled out a new credentialing program in May. According to Leslie McDowell, BPI director of communications: “The BPI GoldStar Contractor program is a company-wide credentialing program that provides HVAC companies with an on-ramp to expand into building-performance contracting. The program recognizes and rewards contractors committed to the principle that quality is profitable and can set companies apart in the marketplace.”
