iEnergi was started in March 2014 and we are a mechanical services contractor specializing in Air-Conditioning, Hydronic Heating, and Renewable Energy Systems for the residential building market.

iEnergi was started with a plan to make it a commercially profitable enterprise that works without us(myself and business partner Michael). We knew that to do this, we had to be more innovative in the systems and service we provide. We could see from some of the big players in the market that they had common weaknesses such as poor service rating, competing in the bottom price range, unqualified salespeople, poor quality standards, and a limited range of traditional Heating, Ventilation, and Airconditioning (HVAC) systems. We completely flipped the above weaknesses and based our business on providing only the highest levels of innovation, quality, service, and long-term business relationships.

In the early days, we focused on providing the latest technology in HVAC systems and how we document and manage the projects. We made an early decision to embrace cloud technology. We use Xero for our financial management, Dropbox for file storage, Simpro for managing our quoting/project management/invoicing process, and a range of other communication applications. This early day’s innovation allows our employees to work remotely if needed, which really helped through COVID during lockdowns.
 


As the team grew our focus then turned to our people. As technicians turning into business owners, we weren’t sure if our management style was the right way to go about things. We undertook a Diploma in Leadership and Management with LMA. It was a pleasant surprise that our leadership style was congruent with how a modern positive workplace environment should be. This focus on learning has filtered through to the core of iEnergi with 90% of our team upskilling. Our team is currently going through a training program with Release- Hypnotherapy, Leadership, and Coaching to understand ourselves better, break down any limiting beliefs and make us stronger in everything that we do.

We are also big advocates for mental health awareness and are supporters of HALT- Hope Assistance Local Tradies.

Another competitive edge we have is our commitment to business coaching and learning. We have been heavily involved with Peter Wrench business coaching for the past 7 years and after completing the program, our attention has now turned to help other contractors in our industry follow tried and tested business practices.

Why do we deserve this award? Our team has come so far in the last few years and they have excelled through tough times. I constantly remind our team that they are not just training to become better at their role, they are training to become better leaders both in their business and personal life. We don’t just innovate with the systems we install, we innovate with everything we do, the systems, our clients, personal and business development, and how we work with each other as a team. One of our core values is innovation, so this award is for our team.
