Company profile
researched Aug 2026Treehouse, operating as Drive Technologies, Inc., is a technology-enabled electrical contracting business focused on home and building electrification. It installs residential Level 2 EV chargers, home battery backup systems, multi-family and commercial EV charging, electrical panel and service upgrades, 240V circuits for appliances such as heat pump water heaters, HVAC and induction stoves, energy monitors, smart switches, smart thermostats, and vehicle-to-grid solutions. The company also performs general electrical services tied to energy-efficient products.
The company positions itself as an electrical contractor that combines the trades and software under one roof, arguing that the pace of new electrification hardware requires a different service model that can deliver projects faster and more precisely. Its stated mission is to accelerate decarbonization of homes and workplaces, and it describes its offering as software-enabled Installation-as-a-Service aimed at the roughly 80 million-plus US homeowners. Its current focus is EV chargers, which it frames as the first mass-market electrification category and the entry point to home electrification for many homeowners.
Customer projects are managed end to end: an online survey produces an instant estimate for EV charger installs, a virtual assessment based on customer-submitted photos replaces most in-person site visits, and a final quote is typically delivered within 48 hours. In-house electrical advisors then handle permitting and inspection, and the company offers financing so customers can pay monthly. Work is performed by licensed electricians and backed by a two-year labor warranty; the company also advises customers on incentives and rebates and states it is a certified and accredited installer.
Business model
Treehouse sells installation services for electrification hardware directly to homeowners and to multi-family and commercial property owners, and also works with brands and partners as their installer ("Trusted installer for leading brands" and a "Partner with us" channel). It supplements project revenue with customer financing arranged through the company, allowing installations to be paid over time in monthly payments.
Revenue comes from paid electrical installation projects quoted on an all-in basis after a virtual assessment; the company also facilitates financing so customers can spread payments over time.
Traction
The company reports thousands of completed installations and supports partners and customers across the United States. Published customer reviews reference completed projects in California, Texas, Illinois and Florida, including Powerwall and SPAN panel installations, EV chargers and 240V appliance circuits.
