My Company ... nameless for now

After thinking some more about my ideas and doing a little more reading on the things that I was thinking about doing I have decided on my company. We will do several things, depending on the customers needs, wants, and financial ability.

1) Evaluate a home for places that a home owner is loosing money
2) Suggest improvements to save money and/or go green
- from changing to florescent bulbs to more expensive things like new windows or appliances
3) Have a lower cost way for home owners to purchase these products/services from us
- we will buy direct from suppliers and provide things to the customer at a lower cost than a major store would
- we would also be able to help with installation processes or recommend out to good and inexpensive companies for these types of services.
4) Help organize community between neighbors to help multiple homeowners in the same area to share and live in community to save money and live greener.
- this would include showing neighbors how to share energy costs, resources, recycle together, and even help each other out financially if one family needs the help to keep their home.

All these services would be offered in two ways. The customer could set up a consultation and we would come to their homes and deal with them right from the comfort and convenience of their own homes. Or the customer could also choose to come in to our center and learn about different things they could do or pick the services they want. The costs would vary depending on the services the customer would choose, and nothing would be too expensive since the goal of the company is to help people stay in their homes. The amount of involvement of our consultants is up to the customer and they could even just use our services to purchase cheaper supplies to update their homes.

The mission of the company is: To help homeowners stay in their homes by saving them money, building community and helping the environment at the same time.

As far as names go, at this point I haven't had any major light bulb moments for great names. I will be thinking and searching for good ideas throughout the rest of today. Any suggestions are greatly welcomed.
