“Are you busy?”
by Jake MacArthur
Given the current economy and local interest in renewable energy, we are frequently asked, “Are you busy?” Well, this question can be difficult to answer at this time of year. After an extremely hectic Fall that bled into January, we have completed most of our installation work. In general, installation in Wyoming and Idaho is difficult during the heart of winter – temps are below freezing and feet of snow rest upon the roofs. Additionally, the winter offers us the perfect respite to catch up on other aspects of the business. We refine our systems, reorganize our shops and prep materials for the summer.
Scott and Andy have been busy refining business documents and working on marketing projects. Toby and Curtis are finishing up a few heat pump projects and also designing systems for the Summer. Phil and Jake have been improving spreadsheets, consulting and designing a number of residential and commercial-size projects, and staying busy with drawings. Joel, AJ, and Tracy continue to do occasional install and service work. And, of course, Cheryl is working hard to manage the residual office chaos (ahh, tax time).
Nonetheless, the phone is steadily ringing, projects continue to roll in, and we are anticipating a great summer. Even with the down turn in the economy, there continues to be excitement towards renewable energy!
