EscapeHeat
AI Heat Plan to Lower Cooling Bills — turns home inputs into a prioritized savings plan with estimated monthly impact.
How we got these numbers
Every figure is computed from the inputs below — the same top-down + stated-fraction methodology the product applies, with the arithmetic left visible.
| Step | Formula | Result | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| TAM (anchor) | Public analyst anchor (2025) | $15B | MarketsandMarkets / Grand View — HVAC Controls & Smart Thermostat markets (rounded) — US residential HVAC/controls spend is in the low tens of billions; rounded to $15B as order-of-magnitude anchor for software-driven optimization. |
| SAM (serviceable) | $15B × 2% | $300M | Homeowners actively seeking cooling-bill reduction who will run an AI plan rather than call an HVAC contractor first. |
| SOM (obtainable) | $300M × 0.5% | $1.5M | Single-product energy-savings tool; organic search and seasonal heat-wave traffic, ~3-year horizon. |
| Customer framing | $1.5M ÷ ($9/mo × 12) | ≈ 14,000 customers | What the obtainable estimate means at the reference price of $9/month. |
Share-of-market framing
What small, plausible shares of the serviceable market translate to in annual revenue.
| Share of SAM | Annual revenue | Vs. obtainable estimate |
|---|---|---|
| 0.1% | $300K | below the $1.5M SOM estimate |
| 0.5% | $1.5M | above the $1.5M SOM estimate |
| 1% | $3M | above the $1.5M SOM estimate |
Willingness to pay
Curve generated by the product's WTP simulator around the stated price inputs. Model output for orientation — not survey data. Modeled optimal band: $6–$12/mo around the $9/mo reference price.
| Monthly price | Modeled market share | Revenue score |
|---|---|---|
| $3 | 33% | Med |
| $6 | 39% | Med |
| $10 | 43% | High |
| $13 | 37% | Med |
| $16 | 31% | Med |
| $19 | 25% | Med |
| $23 | 19% | Med |
| $26 | 14% | Med |
| $29 | 8% | Low |
Opportunity signals
- 88% of U.S. homes use AC (DOE); record heat years make cooling costs a recurring search trigger.
- Thermostat setbacks can save ~10% annually (DOE) — a simple lever most homeowners never optimize.
- Most utility portals show usage but give no prioritized action plan; AI triage fills the gap.
Risks & pain points
Usage concentrates in summer; off-season retention and perceived value are unproven.
Smart thermostat vendors can bundle similar insights inside their apps.
