INNOVA (formerly Ephoca) sells heat pumps without outdoor units, air-to-water systems that reuse radiator piping, and PTAC replacements with integrated ERV. Hiring tilts heavily toward operations and field service in the US and Canada, pointing to a North American installation and support buildout. A sizable 3D and generative media stack (Unreal Engine, Blender, V-Ray, Midjourney, Sora) alongside Zoho CRM and Zapier suggests a lean, visually driven marketing operation.
INNOVA designs, develops and produces heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, with all units manufactured in Italy. Its product lines include AIO heat pumps that need no outdoor unit, the STONE air-to-water heat pump for radiator-heated buildings, and Nextac, a PTAC-style unit with integrated energy recovery ventilation. The company operates under the INNOVA name after rebranding from Ephoca and signed a strategic alliance with Panasonic in February 2024. It is privately held, employs 201–500 people, lists Cleveland, Ohio as headquarters, and is hiring in the United States and Canada.
