## 00:00 — The hidden problem

- **00:01** How much energy—and money—
- **00:02** is your home wasting?
- **00:04** A high electric bill may be only the symptom.
- **00:08** Air conditioning, ductwork, insulation, air leaks, windows, and roofing
- **00:12** can increase energy use and reduce comfort without you knowing it.
- **00:17** And replacing one system does not always solve the real problem.

## 00:23 — Understand before upgrading

- **00:23** BetterPowered starts by understanding your property.
- **00:26** We use information about your home, technology, and artificial intelligence
- **00:30** to identify opportunities and determine where action matters first.
- **00:35** Before you invest, you should know what your property truly needs—and why.

## 00:41 — Turn diagnosis into a plan

- **00:41** But discovery is only the beginning.
- **00:44** BetterPowered turns the diagnosis into a prioritized action plan.
- **00:48** For this property, the process begins by correcting air leaks, sealing ductwork, and improving insulation.
- **00:53** Every step responds to an identified need.
- **00:57** With proper ventilation, they improve comfort
- **00:59** and control humidity and indoor air quality.

## 01:02 — Incentives and specialists

- **01:02** We identify applicable rebates and incentives—
- **01:04** always subject to eligibility.
- **01:08** When a project requires professional evaluation or installation, we connect you with the right specialists.

## 01:15 — Right-size the HVAC replacement

- **01:15** We remove the old equipment and install a modern system properly sized for the home.
- **01:18** In some homes, this reduces HVAC energy use by more than 50%.

## 01:26 — Add solar and storage when ready

- **01:26** Once the property is ready, solar energy can be added when it makes sense,
- **01:30** with an installation designed for that roof and that home.
- **01:33** Sizing solar to the home and roof
- **01:35** avoids unnecessary costs and excess panels.
- **01:38** And energy storage can complete the system, providing greater control, backup power, and resilience.

## 01:44 — Monitor and coordinate

- **01:44** Then monitor consumption, generation,
- **01:46** battery, and grid.
- **01:49** BetterPowered coordinates improvements, specialists, rebates, and incentives
- **01:53** through one concierge experience.
- **01:55** We understand your property
- **01:56** before recommending a product.

## 02:00 — Understand. Improve. Save.

- **02:00** BetterPowered: understand, improve, save.

## Important context

Recommendations depend on the property and available evidence. Incentives are subject to eligibility. Savings vary, and professional evaluation is required before final equipment sizing or installation.
