HomeGauge Announces NEW Training Program

HG 2 Day Hands-on Training in Asheville, NC, Las Vegas, NV, and Reno, NV

HG offers a 2 day hands-on training event ($249) in Asheville, NC, Las Vegas, NV, and Reno, NV. This will replace our regular Friday training classes in Asheville. With all the features of the software and Internet services we provide (HG Services), we feel that a 2 day hands-on training, with several of the HG staff speaking and attendees performing a mock inspection themselves, better equips the attendees to apply the lessons they came to learn, when they return home. Home Inspectors and Energy Pros — this training is for you. See the link below for dates and the topics covered.

At times it was standing room only!
