Sealed vs Oura

About

Sealed is a home decarbonization company founded in 2012 that offers a unique pay-from-savings financing model for home energy upgrades including insulation, air sealing, heat pumps, and smart controls. The company handles the full process from energy assessment through contractor management and installation, then finances the upfront cost through a savings-based model where customers repay from the energy bill reductions the upgrades generate. This eliminates the capital barrier that prevents many homeowners from pursuing upgrades they know would be beneficial. Sealed operates primarily in the northeastern United States where heating costs are high and savings potential is significant. The company's model aligns its incentives with customer outcomes since Sealed only gets paid when upgrades actually deliver the projected savings. Sealed has raised $100M and works with utility partners and state energy programs to expand access to financing and incentives. As federal IRA credits and state programs expand financial support for home electrification, Sealed's integrated financing and installation model is positioned to scale home energy upgrades at a pace that individual homeowners acting alone cannot match.
