We are a dedicated team of energy efficiency experts, environmental advocates, and technology enthusiasts committed to helping households reduce their energy consumption and electricity costs.
EcoWatt was established in 2018 by a group of electrical engineers, environmental scientists, and consumer advocates who shared a common frustration: households were paying far more for electricity than necessary, yet the information needed to make meaningful changes was scattered, technical, and often inaccessible to the average homeowner. They set out to change that by creating a comprehensive, trustworthy resource that translates complex energy science into practical, actionable guidance.
What began as a modest online publication has evolved into one of the most comprehensive energy-saving information resources available to English-speaking consumers. Our team has grown to include certified energy auditors, licensed electricians, solar energy specialists, smart home technology experts, and experienced writers who collaborate to produce content that is both technically accurate and genuinely useful.
Throughout our growth, we have maintained an unwavering commitment to independence and objectivity. We do not accept payment from manufacturers or retailers to feature their products, and our editorial recommendations are based solely on performance, value, and consumer benefit. Our readers trust us to provide honest, unbiased guidance, and we take that responsibility extremely seriously.
The mission of EcoWatt is to empower every household to take meaningful control of its energy consumption. We believe that energy efficiency is not a luxury reserved for the wealthy or the technically sophisticated — it is a practical, achievable goal for every home, regardless of size, age, or budget. By providing clear, accurate, and actionable information, we help our readers make smarter decisions about how they use electricity, what devices they invest in, and how they can contribute to a more sustainable energy future.
We are motivated by both the economic and environmental dimensions of energy efficiency. Every kilowatt-hour of electricity saved represents real money in our readers' pockets and a real reduction in the carbon emissions associated with electricity generation. We believe that individual household actions, when multiplied across millions of homes, can make a significant contribution to addressing climate change and building a cleaner, more resilient energy system.
In a market saturated with sensational claims about miracle energy-saving devices and unrealistic savings promises, EcoWatt stands out for its commitment to scientific rigor and consumer protection. We test claims against established electrical engineering principles, review peer-reviewed research, and consult with independent experts before publishing any recommendation or assessment. When the evidence does not support a claim, we say so clearly and explain why.
We are particularly committed to helping consumers navigate the complex and sometimes misleading landscape of power-saving devices. Our detailed, evidence-based analyses of various technologies — from power factor correction devices to smart thermostats to solar installations — help readers understand what works, what does not, and why. This kind of honest, nuanced guidance is rare in the energy-saving space, and we are proud to provide it.
Every piece of content published on EcoWatt is developed through a rigorous process that begins with thorough research and ends with expert review. Our writers are required to cite credible sources, including peer-reviewed studies, reports from government energy agencies, and guidance from professional organizations such as the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES).
We regularly review and update our content to reflect the latest developments in energy technology, changes in utility pricing structures, and new research findings. The energy efficiency landscape is evolving rapidly, and we are committed to ensuring that our readers always have access to current, relevant information. When we update an article significantly, we note the revision date so readers can be confident they are viewing the most recent version.
At EcoWatt, we are guided by a set of core values that inform everything we do. Integrity means that we never compromise our editorial standards for commercial gain. Accuracy means that we verify every factual claim before publishing. Accessibility means that we present technical information in language that is clear and understandable to non-experts. Sustainability means that we consider the long-term environmental implications of the technologies and practices we discuss. And empathy means that we recognize the financial pressures many households face and strive to provide guidance that is practical and achievable within real-world budget constraints.
We welcome feedback, questions, and suggestions from our readers. Whether you have a question about a specific energy-saving technology, want to share your own experience with a product or strategy, or have an idea for a topic you would like us to cover, we would love to hear from you. Please reach out to us at [email protected]. We aim to respond to all inquiries within two to three business days.
Our offices are located at 800 Green Energy Blvd, Suite 150, Denver, CO 80202, United States. We are a digital-first organization and do not receive walk-in visitors, but we are always happy to connect via email or through our online channels.
