What Sithec does
Sithec Climatisation is a French HVAC specialist founded in 1986 and headquartered in Champigny-sur-Marne, Val-de-Marne, in the Île-de-France region. The company sells, installs, maintains, and repairs air conditioning and heat pump systems for residential, commercial, industrial, hospitality, restaurant, and medical customers across all eight Île-de-France departments (Paris 75, Seine-et-Marne 77, Yvelines 78, Essonne 91, Hauts-de-Seine 92, Seine-Saint-Denis 93, Val-de-Marne 94, Val-d'Oise 95). It operates as an authorized installer (installateur agréé) for Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, and Hitachi, and also carries Airwell and Atlantic product lines, covering mono-split, multi-split (up to nine indoor units), reversible AC, air-source and geothermal heat pumps, and industrial cooling and refrigeration systems.
The business is organized around four revenue streams: equipment sales, professional installation (including thermal diagnosis and commissioning), recurring annual maintenance contracts (over 500 active, covering cleaning, filter replacement, leak detection, and pressure regulation), and same-day emergency repair with 24/7 dispatch. Pricing is quote-based with no public price list; customers contact Sithec for free thermal diagnostics and tailored proposals. Service delivery is exclusively direct — Sithec's own technicians and sales staff operate from the Champigny-sur-Marne headquarters and deploy across the region, with no retail, e-commerce, or third-party reseller channels.
Sithec holds multiple regulatory and quality credentials that gate the addressable market: Qualibat certifications 5412-5421-5422-5522, RGE (Reconnu Garant de l'Environnement) qualification, Bureau Veritas certification, and a Prefectural qualification (N°94-96) for refrigerant recovery under decree 92-1271. These permit the company to handle regulated refrigerants and enable customers to access French energy-efficiency subsidies. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, no public revenue figures, and a lean team of approximately nine employees, suggesting a small, founder-led trade business rather than a venture-backed or institutionally-financed enterprise.
