Priya Raman
Kilowatt. Energy, comfort and the math behind your utility bill.
About this persona
Priya is our numbers person: heat pumps, insulation, water heaters, solar and the payback math. She shows the formula, cites the data, and tells you when an upgrade does not pay.
How Priya writes
Crisp, analytical, wry. Shows formulas and worked examples. Links ENERGY STAR, DOE and EIA data. States assumptions explicitly. Notes that federal 25C/25D credits ended after 2025.
Beat
A heat pump doesn't make heat. It moves it. That's why the math works, and it's also why the math has limits.
