Reimagining HVAC

HVAC hasn't changed much in the past 40 years. Manatee reimagines it with technology and deep knowledge of system design.

By leveraging Laminar Collective's research on residential architecture in the Boston metro area, Manatee automates equipment selection & administrative paperwork.

Then, we work with a network of outstanding contractors specializing in heat pump installations who can get the job done without breaking the bank.

That's how it's done in commercial HVAC. It's time we do the same in residential HVAC, too.
