Free Engineer - Our Story

EMPOWERING PEOPLE TODAY BY CREATING A BETTER ENVIRONMENT FOR TOMORROW

Why

The purpose was born before knowing what the business or services were, which is to use energy issues to help disadvantaged people.

We help you save money & time through energy solutions – You help us save lives – We report the impact you’ve made

What if every $1 you invest to save your energy and $ in your home can help us save lives in places like Africa or Syria?

How? Our ‘Empower Projects’ channel at least $0.13 out of $1.00 of our profit towards our incredible partners on the field, such as World Vision. But we need all of you to make it happen…

To give you great price and give to the disadvantaged, we can't spend hundreds of thousands $ on marketing. Can we please count on you to 'like' & 'share' this through fb (top RHS buttons) and save lives together?

Who We Are:

Free Engineer is a story of a couple of engineers who faced challenges with limited support. Yet, they had a DREAM - to create a better environment for our children of tomorrow, while also making a difference to disadvantaged people of today, through an innovative commercial solar business. They have since partnered with top Australian suppliers and engineers to set up a trusted energy solution marketplace.

Free Engineer has been extremely blessed with the opportunities to help large organisations to small businesses, enabling them to stamp their mark as COMMERCIAL energy reduction specialists. They also started helping with RESIDENTIAL projects following multiple requests.

This movement will only work with accountability and transparency, so they built a platform for their charity partners to check transactions regularly and they’ll give you regular updates here/ on their facebook Energy Learning Hub.
