The BoostBox from HomeBoost is a DIY home energy assessment kit designed to empower homeowners to improve their home energy efficiency and save on utility bills. The kit includes a comprehensive set of tools, such as a blacklight to identify non-LED lightbulbs, thermal cameras to detect heat loss, and other devices to assess energy usage. Homeowners can use the BoostBox in conjunction with HomeBoost's app, which leverages artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision-driven analysis to provide personalized insights and recommendations for energy savings. The BoostBox offers a cost-effective alternative to professional home energy audits, priced at $99, making it approximately 80% cheaper than hiring a home auditor.

In addition to the physical tools, the BoostBox provides unlimited access to HomeBoost's app, which guides users through the energy assessment process and generates a detailed home energy report from a professional. This report helps homeowners identify areas where energy is being wasted and suggests practical solutions to enhance energy efficiency. The BoostBox is designed to be user-friendly, allowing even those with little to no experience in energy auditing to perform a comprehensive assessment of their home. By providing actionable insights and cost-effective solutions, the BoostBox aims to help homeowners live more comfortably while reducing their environmental footprint and saving money on energy bills.
