Homeworks Energy expands to 8,520 square feet with Cummings Properties

WOBURN – Homeworks Energy, a major firm specializing in residential energy conservation, has expanded two times in two years with Cummings Properties. The energy efficiency company now leases a combined 8,520 feet of space from the Woburn-based commercial real estate firm.

Founded in 2008 by Winchester resident Scott Veggeberg, Homeworks came to Woburn in February 2013, with a 1,300-square-foot office on Henshaw Street. It soon doubled its space, moving to an adjacent building with a warehouse. Most recently, it added 5,920 square feet of office space at nearby 68 Cummings Park.

Veggeberg’s son Max, also a Winchester resident, is now CEO of the company.

“We service all of Massachusetts and some of New Hampshire,” he said. “Cummings Park offers a prime location right on 93 and 95. As Homeworks continues to grow, it’s nice to know that Cummings can accommodate our expansion needs.”

An approved contractor of the Mass Save energy savings program, the company currently has 45 employees. Specialists audit the energy efficiency of clients’ homes and provide no-cost energy-saving fixes, such as CFL light bulbs, low-flow showerheads, and programmable thermostats, as well as low-cost estimates for energy-efficient home improvements. He attributes the company’s growth to a strong focus on customer service.

“We work closely with our customers to identify money-saving, low-cost energy improvements and to make them in the least invasive way possible,” said Veggeberg. “Thirty to 40 percent of our business comes from referrals.”

“It is wonderful to see a client grow this quickly and to have access to a real estate portfolio that allows for both warehouse and office expansion,” said Maureen Brennan Harrington of Woburn, the Cummings Properties account manager working with Homeworks.
