Solving a Critical Challenge

The numbers are staggering. Heating and cooling consume nearly two-thirds of a home's energy, generating a massive 38% of residential greenhouse gas emissions. Traditional home energy upgrades have been a nightmare for homeowners—complex, expensive, and overwhelming. We knew there had to be a better way.

Our AI-Powered Solution

Imagine upgrading your home's energy system without the typical stress and confusion. That's exactly what we've created. Our platform uses advanced AI to simplify the entire process, turning what used to be a complicated ordeal into a streamlined, straightforward experience.

Take Jamie, a single dad from Westchester, as a perfect example. In just a few minutes, he replaced his old oil-powered boiler with an energy-efficient heat pump. The result? He saved over $11,500 and significantly reduced his home's carbon footprint—all without weeks of research or endless contractor calls.

Making a Real Difference

In 2024 alone, we've helped homeowners achieve something remarkable. We've reduced over 75,000 metric tons of carbon emissions—that's equivalent to taking 16,000 cars off the road. We've also helped secure more than $10 million in energy efficiency incentives, making sustainable living more accessible than ever.

What Sets Us Apart

We're not just another tech company. Our approach is deeply personal and meticulously crafted. We've developed a platform that offers wholesale pricing, zero markups, and financing options as low as 0% interest. We're so committed to quality that we accept only 5% of contractors, ensuring every installation meets our rigorous standards.

More Than an Award

Winning the Fast Company World Changing Ideas Award is validation of something we've believed in from day one. We're not just selling a service—we're offering a pathway to a more sustainable future. It's about empowering families to make meaningful environmental choices without breaking the bank.
