Innovatio is a Chicago-based hardware startup rethinking residential indoor air quality from the ground up.
Why we built this.
It started with a simple problem: our homes were dry, uncomfortable, and no matter what we tried, we could not meaningfully raise humidity. We looked at every solution available and found that the category had not evolved since the 1950s. Today's whole-home humidifiers waste up to 100 gallons of water a day, do not filter or clean the water that enters your air, and require higher energy costs.
Homeowners are paying for a system that is not delivering the result they need and existing solutions adversely affect their indoor air quality in the process. We decided to build something better.
What we’re building.
We are developing a smart whole-home humidification system that delivers cleaner, healthier air while using significantly less water and energy than existing solutions. It is designed to work with your existing HVAC system with minimal installation effort.
Our unit installs on your existing supply plenum with no ductwork modifications and works with gas furnaces, electric furnaces, and heat pumps.
Where we are.
We are on our final hardware iteration and will be commencing residential installations this fall.
