Energy KARES LLC, Overland Park

Owners: Terry Kemper and Tim Kemper, who are brothers.

The business: KARES stands for Kemper Auditing Resource Efficiency Services. The Kempers perform residential energy audits to help homeowners save money on their utility bills.

Telephone: In Kansas, 913-766-3400; in Missouri, 816-804-0894.

Web site: www. energykares.com

Established: 2009

Strengths: Singleness of purpose; double the effort. As consultants — homeowners are given a list of recommendations, ranked according to how quickly energy savings can be realized — the Kempers do not sell other energy- related services or products.

On site, the brothers cut the time in half by doing the audits together.

“We feel that the customer does not want us at their residence any longer than necessary,” Terry Kemper said.

Advice for others: Plan ahead. “Don’t under- estimate the amount of time needed for preparation and startup,” said Kemper.
