Wattbot Launches Public Beta in Four Metropolitan Areas

Thousands of people looking for concrete advice on how to lower their energy bills now have a tool that will help them do just that. Wattbot recently launched its Public Beta in the Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego and New York City metro areas, giving personalized energy recommendations to homeowners.

Wattbot takes into consideration over 75 different factors to determine the most cost-effective energy-saving technologies for an individual property, be it solar electric, solar hot water, insulation, refrigerators or dishwashers -- with more being added all the time. These personalized recommendations show homeowners how much money they can save on their energy bills per month, what the net savings of a specific technology is over time, and detailed information on the contractors who can install these systems. Wattbot's goal is to simplify the design, financing and purchase of clean energy solutions for everyone across North America.

Homeowners don't need to register or divulge any contact information to use this free service. Wattbot uses a home address to automatically generate a personalized energy profile that shows energy usage, home characteristics, property details , and financials. After reviewing their energy profile, homeowners can simply push a button to get personalized recommendations on the best "bang for the buck" energy-reducing investments, with explanations of upfront costs, long-term benefits, eligible rebates, financing plans, and available tax credits. Once the homeowner has a handle on their recommendations, they have the option to connect to one or more of the best matching installers in their area for services they are interested in exploring further.

"Think of Wattbot as your trusted energy advisor, unbiased by any particular company or product." said Kurt Brown, CEO of Wattbot. "You really need a PhD to understand all the technologies and an MBA to understand the financials. With Wattbot's help, deciding on the most cost-effective way to reduce your energy bills is a whole lot easier."

Wattbot is now open for homeowners to create a home energy profile and for installers to create their company profile. For more information on how Wattbot's recommendations work, watch Wattbot's How It Works videos, or simply type in your address at www.wattbot.com.
