Fishing Forum

It has been on the news that channel 5 is going to "expose" fraud with this program with no real evidence as to what they are talking about. They claim that it is a scam and it was designed for the homeowner to get attic insulation and rebates after install. Is that not what we are doing?
They are reporting on a case that is over 4 months old. If you go to thermwize.com and look at the front page in the bold red paragraph it outlines the new policy effectively stopping the scam that was happening with 3 "scam" companies.
What happened was that before 1/1/09, the rebate checks could be made out in the contractors name. The scam companies were filing work orders, scheduling install out 10 weeks, and cashing the checks with no work being done and they made off with the money. The homeowners were not out any money but didn't get their insulation as promised. The new guidelines require the checks made out to the homeowner and our applications for rebates are not even sent to the utilities until the work has been done so an accurate dollar amount can be applied to the rebate. There is NO WAY the homeowner can be left with a bill and they WILL GET THEIR INSULATION!
I have had several phone calls today about this ridiculous media BS. All a person needs to do is call the utilities and inquire about the program. They will validate EVERYTHING i have told you about the program as well as my company
Hopefully the media will not ruin this opportunity. I just wanted to let everybody know what the real story is before a panic happens.
Also, RMP has not advertised this program on their end. This media coverage will expose it and the public will be outraged. It is good for us in a way though, it will let tens of thousands of utah residence know it exists and hopefully bring us more business. It is amazing how few people have heard about the program
If anybody has questions or concerns please pm me and i will answer all of your questions. I urge everyone to watch KSL tomorrow night and see what they have to say. When you see that they are wrong give me acall for your NO COST insulation inspection.[cool]

Isn't it still a problem that the companies offering the rebate are paying .70 which is well above what it should cost? Much higher than I pay, and probably why it is free. Now it's .30 and that is little too low? Too bad the price couldn't be at a more reasonable amount, more beneficial for both parties. It's a good program but the utilty companies didn't do their homework right. It is a win win for the homeowners and the insulation companies. Too bad it can't be better managed to create a win win win that works for all. I do believe that the homeowner will still be able to get reimbursed .30 after April 1 and if he gets a few bids, should recover most of the expense. What he doesn't get, he will in the cost savings with his utilty bill each month.
And why is this in for sale and not in off topic?

I care because I am a member of this forum. The moderators should not have to place our posts in the proper section when we know better, as we agreed when joining. Any affiliation I may have to KSL has nothing to do with my posts or membership on this forum. Relax, my post was not intended to bash you or the insulation program.
