Business Model

Aira operates on a recurring revenue model, offering heat pumps, solar panels, and clean energy tariffs through affordable monthly subscription plans rather than large upfront purchases. This removes the financial barrier for households transitioning to sustainable heating. Revenue comes from monthly subscriptions, hardware sales, installation services, and energy tariff margins.

Market Opportunity & Competition

Aira competes in the European residential heat pump market with traditional HVAC companies (Daikin, Bosch, Vaillant) and emerging cleantech players. The company differentiates through its subscription model, in-house intelligent technology, integrated solar offering, and focus on customer experience. The European heat pump market is projected to reach €150 billion as governments mandate fossil fuel heating phase-outs.
