Building Performance Solutions - Horizon Associates - Timmy Reeder (owner) Eagle River Wisconsin

This is an email I recieved from Timmy after I failed to show up in court.

Just wanted all members and staff of ESA to know that I had my day in court with Mr. Schuler earlier today after a month and a half of waiting after he postponed. The coward did not even have the courtesy to show up and attempt to defend his ranting. Case dismissed in my favor. Just goes to show that you can complain all you want but when the devil in the details comes out, those who are honest and reputable are ultimately vindicated.

Below are the actions of Timmy Reeder after I filed a complaint against him and filed a claim in court. Timmy was simply hired to do some tests for my own information. He repeatedly claims that I intended to use his reports in arbitration against the builder. The arbitration was held on June 26th and Timmy was there, with the builder, and the builder has seen my supposedly confidential report.

1. Called my 76 year old mom at her home in IL at least 2 times. The first time he left a message. He then called her back at 7:30am the next morning, woke her up, and proceeded to yell at her before slamming the phone down and hanging up on her. She called me in tears and feared for my safety. He may have had his wife or another female call my mom again and when my mom asked who was calling, the caller replied, "the Darien Police Dept" and hung up. My mom lives in Darien, IL. We have subpoenaed the phone company for the blocked number. My mom has absolutely nothing to do with this. He has her phone number because years ago he used to cut our grass. He was much better at that and I hope he still has his lawn mower.

2. After I received the tearful call from my mom, I called Reeder and told him to never call my mom again. He hung up.

3. He then went to the Forest County Wi. Sheriffs Dept. and filed a complaint against me claiming harassing phone calls. He also claimed that the reason he called my mom was because I was refusing to pay him for the work. Lie number 1. I paid him before he left my home and have filed a suit in small claims to recover my money. Copies of this were sent to the WECC.

4. He then goes to the Vilas County Sheriff and files another complaint. In this one he now claims I am an ex employee and that I was harassing him through phone calls. What about his claim in Forest County that I did not pay him? Lie 2. Copies sent to the WECC.

5. I filed a claim in small claims court and at the mediation he now claims that he did what I hired him to do. Lie 3. Up until this point I assumed he was simply lying in his reports since he is friends with the people that built our house and he thought I was going to use them in arbitration. Now I found out that he never did what he was hired to do.

6. In his responses to the other complaints I filed, he simply accuses me of lying, calls me names, and makes many other untrue accusations in an effort to make himself appear legit. He also has sent along copies of his 2 false complaints with the Sheriff, and has even included another false complaint filed by a woman I don't even know. This woman has absolutely NOTHING to do with Reeder and myself. Her complaint was about a completely different matter, but this didn't stop Reeder. Slander and/or defamation of character. Sent to WECC

7. I am the Wi. representative for Home Owners Against Deficient Dwellings (HADD). Reeder created a fake email and contacted me through HADD's web site. The HADD secretary forwarded his fake email to me and asked me if I could help. After emailing the fake email address, I realized what was going on and did some checking to confirm this email was in deed from Reeder. It was. Lie 4 or is that 5? There are so many I lost count.

8. Reeder informed the builder that he did some testing for me and their lawyers have sent at least 3 letters to my attorney asking about them. In addition, Reeder showed up to our arbitration with the builder on their behalf. The builder has copies of our confidential report. This clearly violates every organizations code of ethics.

9. At the St Germain, Wi. town board meeting they mention my lawsuit against Reeder. This has absolutely nothing to do with the town, but somehow Reeder has once again made my confidential reports and service very public.

Below are the results of complaints I filed against an Energy Star Rater, Timmy Reeder, owner of Horizon Associates and Building Performance Solutions located in Crandon, Wi., and he also cuts grass (lawn maintenance). An Energy Star Rater's job is to verify the energy efficiency of a home.

I hired Timmy to perform certain tests on my mom's new home located in St Germain, Wi. I felt that he did not perform these tests properly, so I filed the complaints in order to warn others of his actions, and in the hopes that these organizations would take action to prevent this from happening to other innocent people. Also, since he has violated many of these organizations code of ethics, I felt that they might want to do something to protect the integrity and reputation of them selves and Energy Star, as well as their own organizations and members. Apparently I am mistaken. It now appears that they encourage this kind of behavior.

I filed these complaints with Wisconsin Energy Conservation Corp. (WECC), Residential Energy Services Network(RESNET) after contacting Energy Star directly. Apparently the process starts with WECC. If I am not satisfied with the decision by WECC, I then file a complaint with RESNET. I filed the complaints about Timmy with RESNET and WECC at the same time.

It appears that they are using a loop hole in their rules, "...because you did not hire Mr. Reeder in his capacity as a Rater or a Home Performance with ENERGY STAR consultant our ability to take action is limited." to protect Timmy. The tests I hired him to perform are the same tests he would perform in the above situation. Bottom line is that he is a member of these organizations and his actions below would be the same no matter what he was hired to do.

Apparently the way it works when a consumer, or at least me, files a complaint with RESNET and WECC is that the consumer is required to provide detailed information and go through many different process's. I have also had to repeat the same information to at least 5 different people. Then they contact the person the complaint is filed against, that person tells them whatever he wants without any proof, and nothing more is done. The consumer is not allowed to see what the response was to even verify the accuracy or truth or offer a rebuttal. In my opinion, Timmy has to be lying in this case because I know that I am not.

I have a lot of information as well as proof that I will gladly share with anyone that is interested in looking into my allegations. I believe that any reasonable person will come to the same conclusion that I have and ask the question, "Is Energy Star a scam?"

Please contact me any time to discuss this. In my opinion, I feel that the public needs to at least be aware of the fact that just because someone is a member of WECC, RESNET and Energy Star, does not necessarily mean they are qualified, honest, moral citizens that can be trusted.

Email from Sara Van de Grift at WECC and my reply.

Below are the actions of Timmy Reeder after I filed a complaint against him and filed a claim in court. It appears that Sara Van de Grift believes that this is perfectly acceptable. He was simply hired to do some tests for my own information. He repeatedly claims that I intended to use his reports in arbitration against the builder. The arbitration was held on June 26th.

1. Called my 76 year old mom at her home in IL at least 2 times. The first time he left a message. He then called her back at 7:30am the next morning, woke her up, and proceeded to yell at her before slamming the phone down and hanging up on her. She called me in tears and feared for my safety.

He was much better at that and I hope he still has his lawn mower. I sent copies of these complaints to the WECC.

2. After I received the tearful call from my mom, I called Reeder and told him to never call my mom again. He hung up.

I will be suing Reeder and filing criminal charges for slander, fraud, harassment, etc. for his actions. All of this seems to be perfectly acceptable behavior with the WECC, RESNET, and Energy Star. What do you think?
