About Us
For roughly 500,000 years, humans have been burning stuff to heat our homes, light our homes, and power our machines. It's 2024, people. Let's change that. Currently, homes account for roughly 20% of the world's carbon emissions. Here at Elephant Energy, we know that there is a better way, so we are building a one-stop shop that makes it easy to upgrade to a climate-friendly home. We enable homeowners to confidently make the switch to modern electric technologies and get their homes off of fossil fuels all at once or over time.
