Tech-enabled heat pump contractor cutting costs 60%

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We're a contractor that installs heat pumps in American homes. Our software streamlines the entire installation process, from initial assessment to final hookup, allowing us to cut costs and complete jobs faster. That makes heat pumps more affordable and accessible to homeowners, speeding up the transition from fossil fuels to efficient electric heating.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco and will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Being in San Francisco keeps us close to a deep tech talent pool, early customers interested in heat pump installations, and a growing market for home decarbonization. This location helps us iterate quickly and build strong local partnerships.
