“This economy stinks, it’s time to trim the fat, we should downsize and there is no way I’m wasting money to be more green.” These are all things many businesses in traditional industries are saying right now, but not one local home improvement company located in the heart of Feasterville, Pennsylvania.
Global Home Improvements, Inc. and owner Paul Kazlov are singing a different tune when it comes to “going green” and making “green.” Since the housing bubble burst in 2007 and home values declined; Global has increased consumer sales by 400%, hired 8 new full-time employees and has invested in a 52 KW solar system that will produce enough renewable energy to cover ALL electricity generated by their 24,000 square foot office location!
And this project is right inline with the company’s stance on the environment and sustainability. Global has made a name for themselves in PA, NJ and DE for selling and installing long-lasting and high quality products that are also good for the environment such as: Metal Roofing, Fiber Cement Siding, Fiberglass Windows, and Integrated Solar Thin Films.
Global is now buying some for themselves; in the form of 216 polycrystalline solar panels manufactured in the U.S. by Sharp! The U.S made panels were cost more than Chinese counterparts but the warranty and proven technology made it the right long-term investment for owner Paul Kazlov. He explains this concept as “lifetime cost vs. right-now cost.” And when asked to elaborate more on this notion, here is what he had to say:
“When installing our own solar system, we wanted to practice what we preach. The majority of educated homeowners and business owners no longer look for the lowest price. Other factors to consider include quality of product, re-sale value, product performance, maintenance costs, energy savings, environmental impact, as well as pre-mature replacement costs into the overall buying decision. We are confident that our system will accomplish all of these things, and actually cost less over time!”–Owner Paul Kazlov
In addition, to contributing to the renewable energy pool in this area, this project will also employ a crew of 6 men for 1 month or more. And this is just the start for Global Home Improvement! In the next year, they also plan to convert more warehouse space into offices and to add a small garden rooftop in a continuous effort to “green” the local economy. In the end, it’s more than just a “go green” mentality, it’s a long-term thought process that will lower operating costs and allow Global to remain in business to service their customers for years to come!
