Energy Swing Recognized with Fifth BBB Torch Award for Business Ethics

About Us Meet The Team

A Record-Breaking Achievement

Energy Swing Windows, Doors, and Basement Finishing has earned the Better Business Bureau’s Torch Award for Business Ethics an unprecedented five times, a rare honor in the award’s history.

Since honorees are not eligible for four years after winning, this recognition reflects a long-standing commitment to doing business the right way, year after year.

Guided by the Principle of
“Doing the Right Things Right”

Founded in 1999, Energy Swing has always operated with the guiding principle of “Doing the Right Things Right.” Earning five BBB Torch Awards highlights the company’s dedication to ethical practices in every part of its work.

“While it is great to be recognized with a prestigious award such as this, what is most important to the Energy Swing Team is that we have been doing the right things for 25 years that has enabled us to be recognized,” says Steve Rennekamp, President of Energy Swing Windows, Doors, and Total Basement Finishing.

A Customer-First Approach That Builds Lasting Trust

Energy Swing treats each sale not as a transaction but as the start of a relationship. Two-thirds of their business comes from referrals and repeat customers — triple the industry average. Their dedication to customer satisfaction sets them apart in the window, door, and basement finishing industries.

In-House Installation Team for Unmatched Quality

Unlike many home improvement companies, Energy Swing never uses subcontractors. Their skilled in-house installation team ensures consistency, accountability, and a superior customer experience from start to finish.

Building a Culture of Excellence

Energy Swing invests heavily in selecting the right people. Through partnerships with recruitment firms, they hire team members who align with the company’s customer-focused culture.

Over the years, the company has expanded thoughtfully — introducing premium entry doors, Total Basement Finishing systems, and a state-of-the-art Design Center that helps customers make confident decisions.

Dedicated to Ongoing Learning and Industry Leadership

Energy Swing is a long-standing member of the Certified Contractors Network (CCN), where they continue their education annually through training and collaboration with other like-minded companies. This commitment strengthens both their expertise and their ethical business model.

What the Judges Had to Say

“It is apparent that the leadership and team at Energy Swing Windows have put enormous effort into doing the right things in business and going above and beyond to maintain good relationships with their customers and support the Pittsburgh community,” says Torch Awards judge Min Geiger, Ph.D., Ethics Professor at Duquesne University.

Another judge, Akwasi Opoku-Dakwa, Ph.D., added: “Energy Swing clearly articulated the challenge of building long-term customer relationships in an industry often characterized by transactional interactions and high-pressure sales tactics. They employ best practices to address this challenge, including customer education, using experienced employees as Client Consultants rather than traditional salespeople, and offering a Triple Lifetime Warranty.”
