# Household electrification marketplaces

> Heat pumps, EV chargers, solar — software that gets homeowners from quote to install.

**Sector**: [Climate Tech](https://signals.gitdealflow.com/niche-down/climate-tech)  
**Build cost**: Team-sized build  
**Deal velocity**: Steady — one deal per month

## Why now

IRA tax credits + utility incentives created a new buying motion. Most homeowners get confused and stall.

## What the signal looks like

Repos with quote-generation tools, installer marketplaces, and incentive-finder libraries.

## Public examples

*Public projects + categories only — we never name founders tracked inside the paid product.*

- Sealed-style platforms
- Wattbuy
- Open-source incentive-finder libraries

## What this displaces

A Google search + four contractor estimates.

## Our build-vs-invest call

Hard to build profitably. Fund only with prior home-services or marketplace GTM. The wedge is a specific product (heat pumps) done extremely well.

## Frequently asked

### Buyer?

Homeowners directly; utilities as channel partners.

### Margin?

Lead-gen + financing referral.

### Defensibility?

Installer network + financing partnerships.
