ARTIPAC

What ARTIPAC does

ARTIPAC is a private French artisan HVAC company headquartered in Hennebont, Morbihan, Brittany, operating under founder-owner David Boulanger. The business specializes in the installation, maintenance, and repair of heat pumps (pompes à chaleur), air conditioning systems, thermodynamic and electric water heaters, and central heating circuits, serving residential homeowners (particuliers) across five Brittany/Loire-Atlantique departments (Morbihan, Finistère, Côtes-d'Armor, Ille-et-Vilaine, Loire-Atlantique).

The company's technical core is built on 20+ years of founder experience covering air-to-air and air-to-water heat pumps, electronic control board diagnostics and replacement, and servicing of both current brands (Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, LG, Panasonic, Zubadan) and discontinued legacy systems (APSA Auray, France Géothermie, Thermoseme, Eco Breizh, CEDE, Electro Froid). Artipac holds the RGE QualiPAC certification, which positions customers to access French government energy renovation subsidies, and maintains authorized station technique status with multiple manufacturers. A notable operational capability is 'télédépannage' (remote phone-based troubleshooting at a €50 flat rate), which allows select issues to be resolved without an on-site visit.

Commercially, Artipac generates revenue through three streams: one-time installation projects (heat pumps, air conditioning, water heaters, central heating), recurring annual maintenance contracts (€140–€170/year for air-to-air and air-to-water heat pumps respectively), and time-and-materials repair services (€50 telephone diagnostic, €120–€160 distance-tiered on-site intervention fees, €60/hour labor beyond the first hour). Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, mediated by the Réseau Proéco Énergies platform (which aggregates customer reviews including a 4.9/5 rating from 112 reviews), the company's own website, and social channels (Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn). The business operates as a sole-lead-technician model with approximately nine total employees, registered capital of €1,000, and no disclosed external funding.

Broad incumbents

• Proxiserve: Major French HVAC and home services contractor serving individual housing, social landlords, and tertiaries with heating and plumbing services. Comparable in residential HVAC maintenance, but operates at national scale with institutional clients.
• ENGIE Home Services: Subsidiary of ENGIE offering heating, cooling, and plumbing installation and maintenance contracts to French households. Directly comparable service offering (heat pump, boiler, AC maintenance contracts) but operating nationally rather than regionally.
• HomeServe France: French arm of the international home services and repair subscription network, offering heating and plumbing repair/maintenance contracts to residential customers. Comparable business model through annual maintenance subscriptions and dispatch service.
• IZI by EDF: National French home services platform owned by EDF providing heat pump installation, maintenance, and broader home renovation services. Comparable as a French residential HVAC installation and maintenance provider, but at vastly larger scale and with EDF-backed demand generation.

Direct peers

• Mister Chauff': French network connecting residential customers with local certified heating and boiler installers across France. Directly comparable in targeting homeowners for heat pump and boiler installation in regional French markets.
• Climafort: French specialist installer focused on air conditioning, heat pumps, and thermodynamic water heaters for residential customers. Directly comparable product/service mix and customer base to Artipac.
• Assistance Chauffage: French residential heating and boiler maintenance/repair service provider offering annual contracts and on-call repairs. Comparable in targeting homeowners for heat pump and boiler maintenance contracts at artisan scale.

Regional players

• Thermi-Gaz: Independent French HVAC and plumbing artisan firm with similar heat pump, gas, and plumbing service offering. Comparable as a similarly sized artisan operator focused on residential HVAC, though geographically distinct.

Emerging players

• Hello Watt (installation arm): French energy advisory and home services platform that matches customers with certified heat pump installers, including its own contracting partnerships. Comparable as a residential heat pump installation channel, but differentiated by its energy advisory platform model.

Others

• Réseau Proéco Énergies: Network of certified French RGE artisans providing marketing, lead generation, and review aggregation. Artipac is a member; the network itself is a comparable ecosystem and lead source that other artisan peers also rely on.
