Tado

tado° develops smart technology for home climate control: thermostats for radiators, boilers and underfloor heating, a heat pump optimiser, an app that brings control, smart features and consumption insights together, and tools for making the most of dynamic energy tariffs. The company was founded in Munich in 2011 and now operates in 20 countries.

tado° describes itself as the European market leader, with more than five million thermostats installed. Its case rests on efficiency: around a third of global energy consumption goes into heating and cooling buildings, and the company says its products have saved roughly 2.5 million tonnes of CO2 so far. It also works with energy suppliers including OVO, Octopus Energy, E.ON, Engie and Eni on bundled offers.
