Founded in 2014 by Mark Zaal and Jeffry Broek, Energiebespaarders is a Dutch company that aims to simplify the process of making homes more energy-efficient. Headquartered in Amsterdam, the company was established after its founders, who have backgrounds in the oil and gas sector, recognized that many homeowners found the process of saving energy to be complex. Energiebespaarders operates as a digital contractor, providing a platform that streamlines the transition to sustainable living for homeowners in the Netherlands.
The company's core offering is a scalable online platform that provides homeowners with free, customized advice on energy-saving measures. Through its "Slimme Woningscan" (Smart Home Scan), users can receive tailored recommendations for their property, including price indications. The platform manages the entire process, from initial advice and estimation to the installation of various energy-saving products. These products include solar panels, various types of insulation (cavity wall, floor, and roof), insulating glass, and modern heating and cooling systems. Energiebespaarders connects homeowners with a vetted network of local, certified installers, ensuring quality and reliability. The company performs financial checks and evaluates potential partners on their processes and customer service before adding them to its network.
The business model is centered on acting as an intermediary between homeowners and installation companies. Revenue is likely generated through fees from the installation partners for projects sourced through the platform. The company serves residential homeowners across the Netherlands who are looking to reduce their energy consumption and carbon footprint. In May 2024, Energiebespaarders was acquired by Nuts Groep, a portfolio company of Waterland Private Equity and the parent company of Budget Energie. This acquisition is expected to accelerate the company's growth and expand its reach.
