A Brief History of Advanced Home Energy
2006 – Advanced Home Energy founded by Dvir Brakha and Ori Skloot. Their goal was to provide professional quality energy efficiency contracting services to Bay Area homeowners. Dvir and Ori found that most homes have inefficient energy systems. Homeowners were not as comfortable as they could be while paying higher utility bills. Additionally there was a lack of local contractors specializing in energy efficiency. Advanced Home Energy was founded to fill the gap in professional home performance contractors.
2007 – Solar services added.
2008 – Moved to expanded location on Central Ave, in Richmond, CA.
2010 – SF Gate readers voted Advanced Home Energy the Best Green Building Company in the Bay Area.
