PowerDown
Company Overview
PowerDown emphasizes home electricity assessments to support homeowners discover the reasons behind their high electric bills and explore ways to lower their bills. Every assessment features a detailed review of circuits and key appliances employing energy consumption monitors, accompanied by a detailed report providing advice.
PowerDown was founded to meet the needs of homeowners looking to lower utility expenses and lessen energy consumption. By assessing the state of the industry, it was evident that many options were available for corporate clients to analyze and lower electricity bills, however there were limited services for individual households. Back in 2010, there existed few tools to understand how electricity was consumed in the residence.
PowerDown was created to meet this demand and has discovered that it can often lower the monthly electricity bill by up to 20%. We partner with home performance auditors, contractors, solar installers, to create a network to provide residents a holistic approach to effective energy reduction.
PowerDown is led by Chris Hunt, a dedicated supporter of sustainable energy and efficient energy use. Before founding PowerDown, Chris dedicated 25 years of his career in technology, serving in multiple leadership positions at SVB, Adobe, and Oracle as well as numerous emerging companies.

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.
