He does have, according to the BBB, some "doing business as" names that he uses - Federal Energy Savings and Absolute Best Plumbing. Apparently, his business in Wildwood is closed but a new business address in Lady Lake is showing up. When the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) is checked, the owner (Patrick M. Walsh) still has current Certified Solar Contractor and Certified Plumbing Contractors licenses but both are marked "Inactive" by DBPR. DBPR also notes that a new license application for him is "in progress". When was the last time you saw one of his gaily painted "Irish" plumbing repair trucks running around TV? If he is not out of business, he is sure staying below the radar for now.

I have heard that he is operating under a new business name, 'Vortex'. It's important to find out the names of operators, as changing a business name can conceal a poor past reputation.
