Home / Owner's representative
What is an energy owner's representative?
Most energy contractors are hired to do one job and paid to sell you their product. An owner's representative sits on your side of the table, is responsible for your whole portfolio, and is paid on what you save. That is how EverWatt works.
You should never have to shop for an energy contractor again.
Google, Meta and Apple don't hire a contractor per project. They hire an owner's rep who knows the portfolio, decides what to do first, and runs the contractors. EverWatt brings that model to hospitals, campuses, cities and industrial operators.
- You call one number
- Lighting, HVAC and controls, EV charging, storage, solar: one engineer owns the relationship and every project under it.
- We handle the whole project
- We engineer the solution, spec the equipment, manage the install and handle the paperwork. Our fee is on the savings, not the sale.
- We think in years, not jobs
- A portfolio plan: what pays back now, what waits for the next rebate cycle, what to bundle so one permit covers three projects.
The difference shows up in what gets missed.
A contractor does the scope you hand them. Nobody is paid to notice the rebate you didn't apply for, the air handler running 45 air changes an hour, or the project next door that should have been in the same permit.
A typical contractor
- Sells the product they carry, whether or not it's the right one
- Bids the scope you wrote; doesn't question it
- Leaves permitting, utility, incentives and financing to you
- Finishes the job and moves on; warranty questions go to voicemail
- Every new project means a new RFP and a new learning curve
EverWatt as owner's rep
- No product line. We pick the equipment that pays back fastest for your building
- We write the scope from a 16-week logger study, not a walk-through
- Permits, HCAI and DSA, utility coordination, incentives and financing: all ours
- Savings verified at the meter, then O&M and warranty through the same number
- The next project starts from a plan we already have
From first site walk to the tenth building.
- Portfolio surveyUtility data for every meter, a site walk of each building, and loggers on the plants that matter.
- Plan and prioritiesA ranked list: what to do now, what waits for the next incentive cycle, what to bundle.
- Fund itRebates, on-bill financing, pay-from-savings. Usually nothing out of pocket.
- Build itOur engineering, our vetted subs, our project management. Facilities stay open.
- Prove it, then repeatSavings verified at the meter. Then the next project on the list.
The plan is only real if it's funded.
Every EverWatt proposal comes with the money already lined up: utility rebates identified and pre-approved, on-bill financing at 0% where the program allows, or a pay-from-savings structure where we carry the capital.
