Vision and mission

In the future all homes will be heated and cooled intelligently - with tado° as the #1 solutions and services company to manage climate at home.

Why we do what we do

Around a third of all global energy consumption goes to the heating and cooling of buildings. Smarter technologies allow more efficient control and can save up to 31% of that energy.

Therefore we develop new technologies, products and services to enable a modern and sustainable lifestyle without sacrificing comfort.

Join the team
Radically new
To optimise energy consumption, we’ve overhauled old-fashioned climate control technology by developing innovative hardware, apps and services for heating and air conditioning at home.
From Munich and beyond
Our products are 100% designed in our Munich headquarters, the hub for product development, marketing, sales and support. From here our products, apps and services are delivered to our customers via our globally operating sales channels.
Irresistible
Heating and cooling homes can be complicated. Our goal is to create solutions that are simple, elegant and intuitive - just relax and start saving energy and costs while enjoying a whole new standard of living.
There is no “planet B”
It’s high time to make a change and build a sustainable future for our only planet. Together with YOU, the tado° community and our team, we are part of a new chapter in sustainable living.
