Frostbusters was launched by Fritz
Diether (below right) and Richard
Ely in April of 1985 in Crested Butte, Colorado. Crested Butte, with
its severe winter climate, served as a perfect location for learning
the importance of energy efficiency in both new and older homes.
Armed with a brand new
Blower Door and
Energy
Analysis Software, the Frostbusters team conducted
Energy
Audits and provided
the recommended products and services to the customer.
In 1986 and 1987, Frostbusters hosted an Energy Symposium,
attracting speakers and guests from around the country. Mr. Diether
purchased Mr. Ely’s interest in Frostbusters in 1988. In 2003
Mr. Diether moved to Grand Junction and has spent the past two years
remodeling homes in the area.
Frostbusters now stands ready to serve the needs of
Mesa County residents by offering a wide variety
Energy
Conservation Products and Services. Diether notes, “In the process of buying
and remodeling four homes ranging in age from twelve to 100 years
old I’ve learned
a lot about the condition of homes in this area. I’ve also
performed energy audits on some brand new and nearly new homes in
the area. When it comes to energy efficiency, they all ‘left
a lot on the table’”
There is enormous potential for saving energy in Mesa
County, and what makes it really exciting is that much of the work
that needs to be done is very cost-effective. The work can be done
by approved contractors and homeowners (DIY’s) using a combination
readily available materials and
specialty
products.
