Company Overview

Name

EnergyHub, an independent subsidiary of Alarm.com

Headquarters

Brooklyn, New York, United States

Founded

2007

Size

Approximately 200 employees (source: rocketreach.co). Revenue of $19.1 million in FY 2024 (source: rocketreach.co).

What They Do

EnergyHub specializes in software technology focused on energy management, evolving from its initial development of demand response and energy efficiency solutions to enabling virtual power plants. This is achieved by integrating consumer devices such as smart thermostats, electric vehicles, EV chargers, energy storage systems, solar inverters, and water heaters with utility grids. This integration enhances reliability and supports higher penetration of renewable energy sources like solar and wind (source: rocketreach.co). The company’s primary products include a platform that aggregates Internet of Things devices into virtual power plants, allowing real-time energy use control and peak load management, which benefits over one million consumers (source: rocketreach.co). EnergyHub's services also encompass energy management systems that connect homeowners with utilities, facilitating actionable consumption reductions and grid optimization (source: cbinsights.com). The company primarily targets utilities across the United States, having grown its clientele to about 80 utilities since its inception, serving regions including Arizona, California, Oregon, the Midwest, Florida, and New England (source: cbinsights.com). Competitors include AutoGrid, BuildingIQ, and Enel X, with EnergyHub differentiating itself through its integration capabilities and a focus on patent activity in demand response (source: rocketreach.co).

Projects & Track Record

While specific completed projects are not detailed by name or capacity, EnergyHub supports large-scale utility programs, particularly those managed for utilities in the Phoenix area, which are among the largest in its portfolio (source: cbinsights.com). The company has established partnerships with approximately 80 U.S. utilities, collaborating with Alarm.com for connected home solutions (source: cbinsights.com). Its geographic presence is primarily U.S.-based, concentrated in states like Arizona, California, Oregon, Florida, and New England, with no noted international expansion (source: cbinsights.com).

Recent Developments

In the last two years, EnergyHub was highlighted in a CB Insights research brief on October 13, 2023, which emphasized its management of large utility programs, particularly in the Phoenix area (source: cbinsights.com). However, there have been no major announcements, contracts won, acquisitions, mergers, or funding rounds reported since its acquisition by Alarm.com in 2013, which totaled between $17.7 million and $33.1 million across earlier funding rounds (source: cbinsights.com). Additionally, no awards, certifications, or milestones from 2024-2025 have been documented in the available sources.

Working There

EnergyHub offers a variety of roles primarily in software development, energy management, and demand response, with support functions also available. The leadership team includes Co-Founder and Managing Director László Koncz, and the company operates under various NAICS and SIC codes related to professional services (source: rocketreach.co). Hiring occurs at the Brooklyn headquarters, where the company emphasizes partnerships with leading Internet of Things firms and scalability with utilities, although specific employee reviews or internal culture descriptions are limited (source: rocketreach.co). No specific benefits have been documented in the available data.
