Tetra, a pioneering provider of end-to-end sustainable home heating and cooling solutions, is announcing the debut of its services into the metro New York area, including both Westchester, Rockland, and Nassau counties. Tetra, previously only available in Massachusetts, plans to expand to all New York state residents over the next year and into more states by early 2025. This hyper-local, new market launch comes on the heels of the company’s USD 10.5M seed round and marks a significant step in Tetra's mission to provide accessible and affordable clean energy solutions across the United States. 

Tetra’s tech platform and installation of high-efficiency heat pumps have proven successful in its founding state, Massachusetts, helping thousands of homeowners in the state earn rebates of up to USD 10K. With this strategic expansion into Westchester and Nassau counties, Tetra aims to guide New York metro homeowners through transitioning from fossil fuel heating and cooling systems to cleaner energy, saving energy and costs in one of the most expensive and environmentally conscious states in the U.S.

Tetra oversees the entire process for homeowners, from quoting to installation to free maintenance and repairs. Tetra uses an AI-enabled, proprietary quoting tool to generate an accurate plan and fixed quote for heat pump installation. Trained on thousands of data points, including city ordinances, county permits, databases, and more, Tetra’s quoting tool assesses the thermal output needed for the home and provides a guaranteed and accurate quote in minutes. This is all done virtually, eliminating the need for invasive and time-consuming in-person consultations. 

The company sources only the most trusted contractors in each market for installation and repairs, building a highly vetted network of local experts across the country. Tetra’s full-service process handles all paperwork and scheduling for homeowners, as well as processing all paperwork for rebates to ensure residents reap the benefits of New York State’s incentives for energy-efficient homes.

Tetra’s expansion

Tetra stays with the consumer the entire lifetime of the HVAC unit, allowing for a seamless, easy-to-navigate experience.  As New Yorkers grapple with inflation, increased cost of living and the aftermath of a recent heat wave, Tetra’s expansion comes at a time when lowering costs and lessening environmental impact is crucial.

While most property owners are hesitant to make the switch to cleaner energy systems due to cost, inconvenience or lack of information, Tetra’s technology-enabled process brings transparency and savings to its customers. 

Outdated heating and cooling systems

Tetra helps clients unlock up to USD 12K in rebates available and reduce their carbon emissions Homeowners who upgrade to more energy-efficient systems in Massachusetts save an average of USD 500 per year on home energy expenses. In New York, where traditional means of heating and cooling can be pricey, Tetra can help customers unlock up to USD 12K in rebates available and reduce their home’s carbon emissions by over four metric tons annually.

The recent heat wave and surge of extreme weather conditions underscore the importance of reliable and efficient cooling systems,” said Max Veggeberg, CEO & Founder of Tetra. “Outdated heating and cooling systems can’t keep up with the intense temperatures that will only continue to get worse, while costs continue to rise, affecting families across New York State. Our mission with Tetra is to prepare you for the times ahead and improve your home with a better and safer HVAC system while protecting the space you love. Tetra is by your side for every step of the process for life to ensure you receive the best service possible.”

Environmental and financial benefits

Tetra provides energy-efficient heat pumps from pioneering brands, including Mitsubishi, Daikin, Carrier, and more. The systems are designed to perform exceptionally well even in climate extremes, ensuring that homes remain comfortable without a spike in energy consumption. This reliability, combined with the environmental and financial benefits, positions Tetra’s solution as a vital addition to New York homes.

Looking ahead, Tetra plans to continue expanding its presence and offerings across the country to give all homeowners access to cleaner, safer energy solutions and reap the financial benefits associated with adopting these technologies.
