Disabled Veteran Owned · Southern California since 2009
858-254-1189About
Anchors Aweigh Energy is a Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business in San Diego. We provide third-party ratings and energy-code work so the people signing the checks have the facts.
The firm was founded on a belief that is still unfashionable in some trades: if you give the decision-makers detailed, unbiased information, the project usually comes out right. We work with every party to a transaction — owner, builder, designer, inspector — and we look for the pragmatic path, not the one that sells the most equipment.
California energy code is complex. Anyone working construction here feels that. We specialize in taking the uncertainty out of it: what the standard requires, who owns each form, and what the rater is going to test.
People
Founder & CEO
Combined experience in construction, project management, real estate, and energy efficiency led Bruce to form Anchors Aweigh Energy in 2009. He is a certified HERS rater through CalCERTS and CHEERS, a subject-matter expert for California investor-owned utilities, and has been instructing building departments on Title 24 compliance since 2013. He has trained and proctored hundreds of BPI Building Analyst candidates as part of Energy Upgrade California.
Field
Field ratings, duct-pressure diagnostics, and the on-site work that turns a CF1R into a closed permit. If the system is leaking, Gus is usually the one holding the gauges.
“Anchors aweigh” is the order that means the ship is no longer held to the bottom. It is also a veteran-owned firm’s way of saying we are here to get the job moving. The office is in San Diego. The work is wherever Southern California is building, remodeling, or trying to understand a stack of energy forms.
Ready when you are
Anyone working construction in California feels the same way. We will tell you what is required, who signs what, and when to schedule the test.
