2. Cala
Heating water accounts for nearly 20% of energy costs in American homes, which can be as high as $1,000 per year and significantly contribute to planet-warming pollution. Cala is hoping to change that with the world's first intelligent heat pump water heater.
Cala's new heat pump water heater can lead to lifetime household savings of $2,000 to $6,000 depending on your old system (propane, gas, or electric resistance) and uses predictive technology to heat water when energy is cheapest and cleanest.
