Powering the Future: Eaton and Treehouse Partner to Electrify Homes

More than a century ago, Eaton made its mark on the world by investing in a revolutionary idea – the first gear-driven truck axle. Now, the power-management firm is once again leading the charge in innovation, this time in the current energy transition.

A Partnership for a Sustainable Future

Eaton has partnered with Treehouse, an AI-enabled installation platform, to accelerate the electrification of homes for electric-vehicle (EV) charging, energy storage, and heat pumps. This strategic alliance aims to make these solutions more efficient, cost-effective, and accessible to consumers.

“At Eaton, we’re committed to the energy transition and are making it happen at scale by delivering cutting-edge technologies and industry collaborations that delight customers and make it more accessible and affordable,” says Paul Ryan, general manager of Connected Solutions and EV Charging at Eaton.

Accurate Pricing and Code-Compliant Installations

The partnership will provide consumers with accurate and fast pricing, as well as access to licensed electricians to deliver code-compliant installations. This seamless process will enable homeowners to seamlessly integrate their EV chargers, energy storage systems, and heat pumps into their homes.

A New Reality in Power Management

The “Home as a Grid” approach, a key aspect of the collaboration, enables the two-way flow of electricity, allowing homeowners to produce and consume renewable energy when needed. This concept marks a significant shift from traditional power management, where electricity flowed solely from centralized power plants to homes.

Project Multiplication: Changing Homes and EVs into Energy Hubs

Recently, various projects have emerged, transforming homes and EVs into energy hubs. For instance, Nissan joined ChargeScape, a vehicle-to-grid (V2G) venture, to enable EV owners to sell excess energy back to the grid. GM announced that V2G technology will become standard in its 2026 models, and Tesla has hinted at introducing V2G technology for its vehicles in 2025.
