Lun is in a mad rush to help heat-pump installers decarbonize homes
Summary
Since in-demand plumbers and electricians may simply decide its easier to focus on other types of work (including, climate-horror-of-horrors, installing more fossil fuel burning boilers that pump CO2 directly into the atmosphere).Helping redirect the energy (ha!) And thats what we focus on right now.Heat pumps are also just the start for Lun as he says the big vision is for the platform to support tradespeople whore able to apply a full sweep of renewable and decarbonizing technologies. So thats taking the old buildings that we have and making them modern, more clean, more affordable [not dependent on] of fossil fuels that come from bad places around the world, basically.The Copenhagen-based startup was founded at the end of March last year, shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine. Then, along with his co-founder Anders Valentin who brings a background in insurtech to the venture; and was a friend of Collignon from their business school days the pair set about figuring how they could make maximum impact in the climate fight. It is also eyeing European expansion and Collignon notes it has an early partner in Austria so that is likely to be one of the next markets.Commenting on the seed funding in a statement, Chris Sacca, founder of Lowercarbon Capital, said: Getting off gas for heat isnt just critical for the climate, if you live in Europe its the patriotic thing to do, and Lun is the cheapest, fastest, and easiest way to get an electric heat pump installed.Changing the way we consume energy in our homes should be a top priority for everyone for many different reasons: Climate, health and economic well-being, added Agate Freimane, Norrsken VC, in another supporting statement.
