Our Team & Mission
Mission
Green Homeowners United was started for a simple reason: to make it easy for people to do one of the most important steps to fight climate change and save money in the process. Join us in helping cut carbon emissions at home.
Green Homeowners United exists to make it easier for homeowners and homebuyers to improve their property with renewable energy, energy-efficiency retrofits and water saving opportunities; and we help people find fair financing to afford the carbon-cutting upgrades that normally would be out of reach. Click here to see if our green home upgrade program could be right for you. You can learn more here about how we seek to ensure all homes can be upgraded, and check out our latest happenings and success stories here.
We're also a proud union shop, providing health benefits, training programs for workers to expand their skills, and a pension for when they retire.

Nicholas Hansen - Grant Park Heating and Cooling
Nicholas Hansen owns Grant Park Heating & Cooling, a residential HVAC company with expertise in Heat Pumps and Electrification. Nicholas entered the HVAC Trade as a Service Technician in 2014. During his career, he found that the HVAC industry is historically very wasteful and there was (and still is) much reluctance within the industry to adapt to more sustainable practices.
Realizing that the greater majority of HVAC systems in homes today can be replaced with more climate-friendly equipment, Nicholas decided to start his own company. He received his HVAC Qualifier from the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services in July of 2021 and his company has been installing highly efficient heat pumps; furnaces and boilers ever since.
