Building an inclusive, people-first culture

Dave Boettcher and Travis Estes founded Abode with a clear vision: progress in clean energy is best achieved through integrity, collaboration, and a genuine focus on what matters. Drawing on lessons from years in the industry, Abode was created to do things differently—prioritizing people, relationships, and meaningful impact.

Our team

Headquartered in Massachusetts, the Abode team is a cornerstone of the clean energy transition in the Northeast. Through our work in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island—as well as national educational initiatives with partners like Rewiring America—Abode makes a measurable impact on customers, contractors, communities, and the regional economy.

Our points of contact at abode have a real understanding of our issues

“Abode wants to support the Home Performance Contractors, and that support is felt on a daily basis. Phone calls are answered immediately. Emails are responded to expeditiously. Our points of contact at Abode have a real understanding of our issues; the competence of Abode’s team is obvious daily. Additionally, I can say that the relationship between our two companies is one of respect, not adversarial, allowing us to talk through situations and arrive at logical solutions rationally.”

They take a well-measured approach to the best practices for efficiency upgrades

“I have worked in the Mass Save program for over four years as a crew chief and an auditor and I welcome Abode’s approach to oversight. Their QA inspectors are frequently on site to provide guidance and ensure homeowners have a great experience with the program. They take a well-measured approach to the best practices for efficiency upgrades and are always willing to come up with creative solutions to challenges presented in homes.”

It was tremendously helpful to speak with an Abode technical consultant!

“Thank you, it was tremendously helpful to speak with an Abode technical consultant! We find ourselves in “Go” mode. The Q&A was incredibly helpful to get a sense of whether we are heading in the right direction and the factors to consider. I feel that we are now ready to confidently place our order for the new system and for that informed approach we thank you very much. Cheers to Abode for helping homeowners understand and thus proceed with heat pumps and better energy efficiency!”

Stay connected with Abode

Abode’s Dave Boettcher, Kristin Dupre, and Christopher Haringa spent last week at the 2026 The @aceeedc  Summer Study on Energy Efficiency in Buildings at the Asilomar Conference Grounds in Pacific Grove, California.

This year’s theme, Efficiency Innovations: Improving Affordability and Resiliency, brought together building and energy professionals from around the world to dig into some of the biggest issues facing our industry, from rising energy costs and growing electricity demand to grid resilience, extreme weather, and the technologies and approaches that can help move buildings forward.

We were especially proud to have Kristin presenting research co-authored by Abode and Massachusetts Clean Energy Center on lessons learned from two Massachusetts residential decarbonization pilots and what it will take to make whole-home decarbonization work at scale.

A great week of learning, sharing what we've learned through our own work, and connecting with people tackling these challenges from every angle.

Thank you to ACEEE and everyone who made #SummerStudy26 such a valuable week.

Last week, Abode was proud to serve as the Sustainability Sponsor for @newomeninee 's Women Shaping the Agenda held at Northeastern University, The Roux Institute, in Portland, Maine.

A big thank you to Rouwenna Altemose of All In Energy for leading the conversation, and to panelists Tina Bennett of PowerOptions, Inc., Sara Harari of the @ConnecticutGreenBank, Chiderah Okoye of Transform Power Systems, and Heather Sanborn of the Maine Office of the Public Advocate for sharing their perspectives on building resilience while keeping affordability at the forefront. It was an engaging discussion with practical insights that will continue to shape our work.

Thank you to New England Women in Energy and the Environment (NEWIEE) for another outstanding gathering and for continuing to create space for women to lead, connect, and help shape the future of energy.

How do we make whole-home decarbonization work at scale?

That's the question Abode's Kristin Dupre will explore at the 2026 @aceeedc  Summer Study on Energy Efficiency in Buildings, presenting research co-authored by Abode Energy Management and the @masscec 

Drawing from two Massachusetts pilot programs, the research examines what's needed to help homeowners navigate multi-year, whole-home decarbonization. It also explores how we can move beyond individual energy efficiency upgrades to coordinated, long-term planning that delivers better outcomes for homeowners, contractors, and energy programs alike.

If you're attending Summer Study, join us to learn how these Massachusetts pilots are helping shape a more scalable path to residential decarbonization.

📅 Monday, August 3
📍 Toyon Meeting Room | Asilomar Conference Grounds, Pacific Grove, CA

The best measure of our growth isn't just the size of our team; it's the people who make it what it is.

This past weekend, Abode staff and their families gathered for our annual summer outing at Kimball Farm. It was a chance to reconnect, catch up, and celebrate another year together.

CEO Dave Boettcher joked that there were more kids in attendance than there were employees when the company began. Then he shared what makes him most proud: not how much we've grown, but how we've grown.

Whether we're hearing it from partners, clients, or others across the industry, one thing comes up again and again: the people at Abode are thoughtful, committed, and kind.

That's the culture we've worked hard to build, and it only happens because of the incredible people on our team and the families who support them every day.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, and thank you for the work you do to strengthen our communities, support one another, and make Abode such a special place.

Electric Coaches are already making a difference in their communities. They’re helping neighbors understand heat pump quotes, answering questions about going electric, connecting people with resources, and sharing what they’ve learned.

But their voices can have an even bigger impact.

On Tuesday, July 21, Electric Coach alumni are invited to join in for an interactive workshop focused on policy and how coaches can use their voices to support clean energy initiatives at the national, state, and local levels.

Together, we’ll explore the Homegrown Energy Report, talk about current policy initiatives, and look at practical ways Electric Coaches can flex their civic muscles and help move the work upstream.

Whether you see yourself as a Connector, Guide, Leader, or a little bit of all three, we hope you’ll join us.

🗓 Tuesday, July 21
🕐 2–3:30 PM ET 
📍 Online via Zoom
👋 Open to Electric Coach Alumni; RSVP through @rewiringamerica
