Building 36 Technologies

About

Building36 Technologies is a Needham company that gives HVAC contractors a smart home platform to grow their service business. Contractors install a Building36 smart thermostat in each home they serve and enroll the homeowner in a Smarter HVAC Maintenance Plan. The thermostats monitor heating and cooling systems around the clock, and when a problem is detected, both the contractor and the customer are notified so the service team can take fast action.

A triage team follows up on alerts with clear, actionable details, and homeowners can book service directly through the mobile app. The app carries the contractor’s name and logo, keeping that brand in front of customers, and it reminds homeowners to test their systems before each season to reduce peak-season spikes. Beyond thermostats, the product line includes temperature sensors, plumbing leak detection and lighting, letting partners expand into whole-home services.

What to Know

  • Partners receive access to training and support along with the technology.
  • One partner contractor reports retention rising from about 20-25 percent to 80-85 percent after joining.
  • Homeowners use the mobile app an average of 1.7 times per day.
  • The thermostats can be controlled from anywhere and are designed to save energy.
