Treehouse uses AI to help electricians install tech like EV chargers and heat pumps more cheaply


The startup seeks to reduce inefficiencies for electricians, including from site visits while quoting jobs.

The U.S. is facing a shortage of electricians, with unfilled jobs in the field expected to grow by 11% per year over the next decade, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. “That pipeline takes a long time to build, and there’s not going to be a lot of relief coming in the next five to ten years,” Erik Owski, co-founder and CEO of Treehouse, told TechCrunch. For more complex jobs like heat pumps, the company will ask the homeowner to submit more details, including photos of their home’s circuit breaker.
