I’m proud to tell you that I was born right here in Lake Havasu and have lived here for most my life. My Grandparents, Don and Ruth Mills, were true pioneers of Lake Havasu City, starting “Don Mills Construction” in 1972. Years later they handed over the reins to my father, Randal Mills, who continued to offer high level design and construction services as “Mills Design and Construction” and “Rose Stone Inc”.
After Graduating from Western Michigan University in 2003 with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration I moved back to Lake Havasu full time. While working for the family business and in different parts of the construction industry I too developed a passion for home building and remodeling just like my father and grandfather.
After purchasing an older home and getting my peak summer electric bills I noticed just because we build a nice home doesn’t mean that’s it’s an efficient home. With energy cost on the rise and the economy getting tougher, I realized that saving money on my electric bill would be vital. And there must be other homeowners with the same problem.
With that said, I got my home energy rating certification and started Evo Energy Solutions in 2009 with the mission to “Work with homeowners to understand and improve the way their home uses energy and to help reduce that energy use through cost effective improvements”.
As a third generation licensed general contractor and certified home energy rater, through the Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET) and the Building Performance Institute (BPI), I have worked with EPA’s ENERGY STAR for new homes program and both of UniSource’s Energy Efficient Home Programs for new and existing homes.
I’ve been able to develop my experience of home building and passion for energy efficiency into a company that truly understands how your home performs and what we can do to not only make it a more comfortable place to live, but save you money every month.
