The Connecticut Better Business Bureau warns businesses and consumers to beware of people selling devices promising significant energy savings.
The scam usual begins with a postcard invitation for a dinner energy-savings pitch. The promise is the device performs like insulation or sealing air leaks in reducing energy consumption. The cost ranges from $40 to $6,000.
BBB complaints say sales representatives are difficult to contact once the work is complete and the workmanship is shoddy.
BBB advises getting local experts to recommend energy-savings tips, avoid door-to-door solicitation and make sure contractors are licensed.
