What is Zero?
Zero operates at the intersection of climate technology and home services, positioning itself as a critical enabler of the energy transition. By digitizing the traditionally fragmented HVAC installation process, the company provides homeowners with remote assessments, transparent pricing models, and seamless access to vetted local contractors. This end-to-end digital architecture not only reduces friction for the consumer but also optimizes the operational efficiency of the installation supply chain. As the built environment faces increasing pressure to decarbonize, Zero's platform serves as a vital bridge between high-efficiency hardware manufacturers and the residential market, effectively accelerating the adoption of heat pump technology.
