Here are some or our ideas for the store services

Each store will provide the following professional services. Services will vary depending upon locations and demand. The Carbon America (CA) staff can  provide full training for franchise owners for these services along with technical documentation for self education on the each topic.  

Services:

A.      Carbon Foot Print (CFP)  Calculation, Carbon-O (CO) review and  CARS rating: 

 
1.       CFP calculation: This service will be provided for free by the staff     members.  Clients can either do the calculations by theirself on the CA web site at home or using one of the stores computers with assistance by staff members. CA will charge a minimal fee of $150 if the customers would like them to come to their home and calculate the clients CFP. This fee will be waived if the customer is a CA club member and has purchased $1000 worth of products in the past 6 months.

2.       Carbon-O Review: For a fee of $250, the CA team will work with each customer to achieve a Carbon-O plan for their home. This will include a (CFP) calculation and site survey review. Note this is a condensed version of the CARS rating and only includes the home survey not occupants lifestyle review. 30% of this fee can be reimbursed if the customer spends more than $2500 for additional services. CA club member will receive a 10% discount; non members will also receive a $105 discount if they purchased products as a result of the visit totaling more than $100.  These fees do not include the renting of special testing equipment.

3.       CARS rating: This is an in-depth rating of the entire home and occupants lifestyle based on our very own Carbon America Rating System (CARS) in an attempt to help customers achieve the ultimate Carbon America transformation, moving toward a Carbon- O healthy and sustainable lifestyle.  There is a $1000 FEE for this service. 50% of this fee can be reimbursed if the customer spends more than $3500 for additional services.
