What Intuis does

Intuis is the unified commercial brand of Groupe Muller (founded 1892), a French designer, developer and manufacturer of thermal comfort solutions. The company's integrated product portfolio spans three categories: high-temperature air/water heat pumps (HMP70 Premium+, HTI70, HRC70 ranges, 9–12 kW, R290 refrigerant, COP up to 5); thermodynamic hot water heaters (Edel Nativ AIR, Edel AIR Mural/Sol, Edel EAU, Cylia) delivering up to 70% energy savings versus conventional electric water heaters; and a broad electric-radiator range from connected entry models (Novium Nativ, Calidoo nativ, Chamane, Beladoo nativ) to the premium intuis Signature line in noble materials (lava stone, ceramic, tempered glass). All heating elements — including proprietary active cast-iron technology — are produced in the group's six French factories; the company operates five R&D centers and three training academies and is certified Origine France Garantie on the majority of its ranges.

The connected layer is delivered through the intuis connect platform co-developed with Netatmo, supported by accessories (connectivity modules, gateway, Aqua Manager for hot water, Manager Compteur for tariff-based load shedding) and integrated with the EDF & Moi app for EDF Tempo tariff optimization. The business model is fundamentally channel-led: Intuis sells exclusively through a network of 2,500+ RGE-certified installers across France, supplemented by a pro spare-parts e-commerce store and a DPE (energy performance) simulator as a top-of-funnel demand-generation tool. Customers are individual homeowners replacing aging boilers or radiators, landlords and social-housing operators (using 'bailleur' features such as PIN locks and setpoint constraints), hospitality operators, and small commercial / new-construction projects built to RE2020. Sizing is 1,001–5,000 employees plus 200 commercial and technical advisors, with no disclosed revenue figure.

Monetization is unit-based hardware sales at suggested retail prices (e.g. Novium Nativ 1000W at EUR 265.20, Edel AIR Mural at EUR 2,078.35 TTC, Edel Nativ AIR at EUR 2,521.45 TTC) plus indirect installation services captured by the installer partner. The company has no disclosed funding rounds and remains privately held under the Muller family; its first RSE (CSR) report was published in 2025.
