Job Description

About Monaire:

Monaire is on a mission to revolutionize the management of heating and cooling systems, and bring energy efficiency to every light commercial building with AI-powered HVAC/R.

Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) and Refrigeration (HVAC/R) in 94% of commercial buildings in the US are operated inefficiently and fail without warning. Commercial building owners and operators waste billions of dollars in energy, emergency repairs, downtime and food waste due to HVAC/R equipment failing. Tragically, these systems also generate the same amount of greenhouse gasses as 43 million gas cars and contribute significantly towards global warming. 

Monaire is building a tech-enabled service platform to reduce emissions from commercial HVAC/R and help owners/operators reduce waste and downtime. Monaire launched its v1 product and services in March 2023 and has already signed on 150+ paid locations. Early customer adoption has spread organically and we now have a backlog of additional locations to serve, all without spending any money on marketing yet.  We are now in the process of building out the team to scale Monaire to 1000s of buildings by the end of 2024.
