About EcoHome

American homes generate 20% of the greenhouse gas emissions in the US. Our mission is to change that.

It all started with a visit from an HVAC contractor. My home, built in 1887, was drafty and expensive to heat and cool. We knew we needed to move away from the propane system we were using but weren't sure where to start. A local company that installs electric heat pumps gave us an estimate, with discounts tied to the total number of BTUs we installed. They also told us that the only reason we needed so many BTUs was because our house leaked air directly to the outdoors. Like many older homes, we had virtually no insulation. The order of operations was broken: first, seal the house, then figure out the heating and cooling. This was the ONLY contractor who told us this, and we got lucky.

Most people aren't so lucky.

Contractors are the heroes in the effort to decarbonize homes. You are the experts that know how to make American homes better. By saving time not driving around visiting tire kickers and helping more homes become comfortable, healthy, and energy-efficient, it's a win-win for you and the planet.

As we chatted with our new HVAC friends, we learned that my situation is all too common. They wanted to be able to educate homeowners much more quickly. They knew they could differentiate on quality and were willing to stand behind their work.

Any home can be made more efficient, but homeowners need a roadmap.

A home built in 1887 needs a different approach than a home built in 2024. But all homes, no matter when they were built, can and should be improved. If done correctly, it makes good financial sense.

If all homeowners had a trustworthy guide on this journey, they’d make very different choices along the way. Now they can, thanks to you.

Based on real data about your customer's homes, they can weigh the pros and cons of upgrades and get a specific roadmap for what they need to do. You make the upgrades, and they can feel confident knowing they can measure the impact of those improvements. Over time, these improvements lead to a home that is more efficient, healthier to live in, and cheaper to own. If everybody did this, we’d see a massive improvement in our emissions as a society and make strides toward a healthier planet.

A roadmap is possible, and you can give it to your customers and build long-lasting relationships.

Homeowners need a trusted partner who looks at their home holistically and helps them make decisions that are in their best interest. Until now, there was no single quarterback managing your customers' homes comprehensively.

Now it's you. Let’s get started.
