About us
We are a young heat pump technology company from Cologne. With a great mix of young and old and a modern, open team culture, we make craftsmanship sexy and rely on the best and most ambitious talents! While others continue to ride the dead horses of gas and oil heating, or dream of hydrogen and district heating, we focus 100% on heat pump technology.
Our goal is to make green heating feasible & affordable for everyone. We offer our customers an all-round carefree package for their heating system change, from the application for funding to installation and subsequent support during operation. Best of all, our subscription model eliminates the purchase costs and risks of buying!
All Vamo heat pumps are digitally networked in real time. This allows us to respond to malfunctions before they occur. And: we can remotely control the systems so that our customers have minimal electricity costs. The intelligent interaction of all heat pumps in our fleet also helps to keep our electricity grid stable.
Together with you, we want to digitalize the trade and make it more attractive for young people and thus help the heat and energy transition in Germany to achieve a breakthrough.
Heat your home, not the planet!
