Home Upgrade Intelligence
About Dwellvance
Our Mission
Dwellvance exists to make home-upgrade decisions easier to understand. Major improvements can involve significant costs, uncertain savings, incentives, and complicated trade-offs. We believe homeowners should be able to understand those factors before making a major investment.
What We're Building
Dwellvance is being built as a home-upgrade intelligence platform. The goal is to help homeowners understand their home, evaluate potential improvements, compare the economics, and determine what may make sense to do next.
We're starting with one decision: whether switching to a heat pump makes financial sense for a particular home.
Our Approach
- Transparent methodology. We document the assumptions and methods behind our calculations.
- Evidence over hype. We aim to use credible data sources rather than unsupported claims.
- Home-specific context. Upgrade decisions depend on the home, location, existing systems, energy costs, and other factors.
- Decision support, not sales. Dwellvance does not sell heat pumps or contracting services.
What We Don't Do
- We do not sell heat pumps or contracting services.
- We do not present estimates as guaranteed outcomes.
- We do not require registration to use the current calculator.
- We aim to be clear about assumptions, limitations, and data sources.
Where We Are Today
Our first product is the Dwellvance Heat Pump Calculator. It helps homeowners estimate heating costs, potential savings, installation costs, incentives, payback, and longer-term economics based on the information they provide.
Over time, Dwellvance is intended to expand beyond heating and help homeowners evaluate a broader range of home improvements.
