Heating our buildings causes around 25% of Europe's CO₂ emissions. Decarbonizing it depends on installers - and there are far too few of them to keep up with the growing demand for heat pumps.
autarc is building the operating system for energy installers across Europe: software that makes planning, designing and installing heat pumps faster and more digital. Our goal is to help plan and design 1 million heat pumps by 2030.
Founded in Berlin and backed by Y Combinator (S24), we're a team of 60+ people across Sales, Tech and Operations, already serving more than 2,000 customers.
