PowerDown
Company Overview
PowerDown emphasizes household energy evaluations to support residents discover what is causing elevated energy costs and find strategies to reduce energy expenses. Each audit includes a thorough analysis of circuits and major appliances employing power usage monitors, concluded with a thorough written summary providing advice.
PowerDown was founded to address the requirements of property owners looking to lower electricity costs and reduce energy consumption. By assessing the current marketplace, it was apparent that numerous services existed for commercial entities to analyze and reduce electricity bills, however few options were available for individual households. As of 2010, there existed limited resources to understand their electricity usage in the household.
PowerDown was created to fill this gap and has discovered that it can often lower the monthly electricity bill by up to 20%. We collaborate with home performance auditors, contractors, solar energy professionals, to create a network to offer clients a comprehensive strategy to effective energy reduction.
PowerDown is overseen by Chris Hunt, our owner, a passionate advocate of renewable energy and energy efficiency. Before founding PowerDown, Chris dedicated a successful 25 years in the high-tech industry, holding various management roles at Silicon Valley Bank, the software giant Adobe, and the tech leader Oracle alongside various startups.

John C.I called PowerDown after my electric bill had gone through the roof and we couldn't determine what was wrong. This was particularly annoying since I had both solar generation and solar hot water production. After Chris from PowerDown came out he discovered that my electric hot water heater was running constantly (bad solar water heating temperature sensor) and my hot water recirculation pump needed a timer. It's only been a week but my net daily kilowatt usage has dropped from over 40 kWh/day to under 10. The next bill will show a dramatic difference. Chris is well informed on power issues. He has stayed involved in the entire process of analysis and problem solution. I am very pleased.
Jenna V.We were in the process of renovating different areas of our house when we decided to address our large electric bills. We went through the online energy audit in Mountain View and because we were in our house less than a year we were led to PowerDown for an in-house audit. Chris from PowerDown came out, found where the energy hogs were and made recommendations. We replaced a number of ceiling flood lights and followed his other advice and dropped our bill $50 in one month from $205 to $155, a 24% reduction! He even came back and helped swap out some of our outlets and is incredibly responsive to any additional questions. I highly recommend this service.
Eric M.Chris from Power Down was great. I originally got his name from another home energy auditing company. They did not do the type of electrical auditing that Chris does. Chris came out to my house twice due to a rather unusual set up of my electrical panels. I initially thought I might be able to set up the TED 5000 to monitor my electrical consumption, but good thing I got him to do it, cause it turned out to be more complicated than I could have figured out. I am looking forward to my full audit report and using the TED 5000 to get a handle on why my bills have been so high. I had looked around quite a bit before callling Power Down, and I would recommend Chris to anyone in the same situation.
