Forty-four percent. That’s how many Americans, according to Chris White, an analyst at Parks Associates, monitor their energy—manually or otherwise. That’s 44% of homeowners who are already engaging in some form of energy management with the remaining 56% either unaware of those solutions or simply unwilling to engage in monitoring themselves.
It may be easy to write off recent interest in energy management as a craze spurred by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). With consumer-facing rebates surrounding all sorts of energy-efficient technologies, it would make sense that suddenly homeowners would be eyeing cheaper home upgrades, especially as many plan on hunkering down in their current residences.
However, experts are seeing similarities with a different trend that has exploded in recent years. Much like how the pandemic initially brought indoor air quality to the public perception, so too are a variety of factors turning energy management into a core focus for homeowners. And with that comes a rise in valuation for smart energy management systems provided by a professional installer.
