Owner's representative

One relationship. We do the shopping.

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.

Why one relationship

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 shop on your behalf

We vet the subcontractors, spec the equipment, run the bids and negotiate the price. 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.

Contractor vs. owner's rep

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/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
How a portfolio engagement runs

From first site walk to the tenth building.

1

Portfolio survey

Utility data for every meter, a site walk of each building, and loggers on the plants that matter.

2

Plan & priorities

A ranked list: what to do now, what waits for the next incentive cycle, what to bundle.

3

Fund it

Rebates, on-bill financing, pay-from-savings. Usually nothing out of pocket.

4

Build it

Our engineering, our vetted subs, our project management. Facilities stay open.

5

Prove it, then repeat

Savings verified at the meter. Then the next project on the list.

Financing & incentives

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.
