Founded by NASA, Google, Sidewalk Labs, Waymo, and Cruise experts, Thalo is a tech-enabled services company transforming the HVAC industry with next-generation sensing and AI-powered intelligence. Heat pump and other HVAC failures cost billions in emergency repairs and wasted energy annually, and are managed by an increasingly short-handed labor pool.
