How Ember works

One short diagnostic. A real plan. Someone else does the paperwork.

You shouldn't need to be an HVAC expert, a tax accountant, and a procurement manager just to lower your electric bill. Ember consolidates all three.

Why Ember

Built so the savings actually show up.

$

Always shown net of incentives

Every number you see is what hits your bill — after rebates, tax credits, utility programs, and instant discounts. Never the gross sticker price.

Installers we'd hire ourselves

Every installer in Ember's NoVA network is licensed, insured, has 5+ years of operating history, 100+ jobs a year, and a homeowner-review score above 8.5/10. Bad apples are auto-removed.
