We help homeowners become their own climate heroes by making it simple, accessible, and affordable to electrify homes with our one-stop, trustworthy home modernization solutions.
Our Founders
It started with a DIY project
After years working in climate, our founders DR and Josh realized something big was being overlooked: the climate transition was leaving homes—and homeowners—behind.
Buildings account for a huge share of carbon emissions, yet upgrading to cleaner technology was still confusing and out of reach.
The "no-brainer" solution? Heat pumps. More efficient, lower emissions, dramatically better for comfort and air quality. So how hard could installing one be?
Turns out… very.
What started as a simple DIY project at DR's house became months of dead ends. Sizing, contractors, rebates, inspections, plumbing, electrical—there was no trustworthy, one-stop place to handle any of it. And if they couldn't figure it out with years of experience, how could the average homeowner?
That's when the lightbulb hit: it shouldn't be this hard. These upgrades can meaningfully cut emissions and improve lives—but the red tape was getting in the way.
Elephant Energy was born to fix that: a reliable, end-to-end partner that cuts through the complexity and makes home electrification simple, accessible, and affordable.
