Each one describes a choice Aira makes when a cheaper or easier path exists.\n\n---\n\n## 1. Own the whole journey\n\n**tier:** core\n\nAira takes a completely vertically integrated approach. Quote, system design, grant applications, installation, and aftercare all happen under one roof. No handoff to a third-party fitter, no gap between who sold the system and who stands behind it.\n\nThe operational consequence: Aira cannot blame a subcontractor when something goes wrong. \"Being able to own the whole journey enables us to do that\" — deliver a superior customer experience — is the stated rationale (LCP podcast, retrieved 2026-09-01).\n\n**Manifestation in practice:** Aira backs installations with a 15-year guarantee and makes free adjustments if the homeowner is unsatisfied within the first year. After year one, the homeowner can continue cover for a low monthly fee. The guarantee is only credible because Aira controls installation quality directly.\n\n**Demonstrated tradeoff:** Vertical integration requires Aira to carry costs that a marketplace model avoids. Aira still installs competitor hardware in some markets — Daikin in Italy, Vaillant as well — showing that full hardware vertical integration is a direction, not yet a universal constraint. Agents must not claim Aira installs only its own equipment.\n\n---\n\n## 2. Make clean energy affordable, not aspirational\n\n**tier:** core\n\n\"Cleaner, more affordable home energy should be accessible. That's why you can spread the cost of your Aira Heat Pump and Power system across affordable monthly payments. And pay nothing upfront.\" — airahome.com/en-gb/about-us, retrieved 2026-09-01.\n\nAira does not treat heat pumps as a luxury purchase. The monthly payment structure exists specifically to remove the upfront cost barrier that stops ordinary households from switching.\n\n**Manifestation in practice:** In the UK, Aira does not charge interest on its monthly payment plans, accepting a direct cost to the business in order to keep the product within reach (Fortune, 2024-03-12). Nothing upfront is a structural commitment, not a promotional offer.\n\n**Demonstrated tradeoff:** Interest-free financing has a real cost to Aira. Agents must not promise specific prices or savings figures without qualification — suitability and savings are confirmed only after a free home energy assessment. The value is access; the price is confirmed per household, not broadcast.\n\n---\n\n## 3. The boiler is the enemy\n\n**tier:** default\n\n\"It's really clear to us that the boiler is the enemy\" — stated in the LCP podcast (retrieved 2026-09-01) and confirmed by owner. This is a mission-first, category-reshaping stance: Aira is not simply selling a product, it is replacing an incumbent technology that locks European homes into fossil fuel dependency.\n\n**Manifestation in practice:** Aira's long-range goal is to electrify and decarbonise 5 million European homes by 2035, across more than 20 countries, employing 20,000 Clean Energy Experts. Every product and service decision is measured against that mission, not just against a quarterly revenue target.\n\n**Operational consequence for agents:** When describing Aira, frame the gas boiler as the problem being solved, not as a neutral incumbent. Do not position Aira as an upgrade to an existing heating category — position it as a replacement for a category that should not persist.\n\n---\n\n## Agent resolution order\n\nWhen values conflict in a judgment call, prioritize:\n\n1. Own the whole journey — the integrated model is the structural basis of the brand; compromising it undermines every other promise.\n2. Make clean energy affordable, not aspirational — access is the social mission made concrete; it takes precedence over growth speed.\n3. The boiler is the enemy — mission framing guides positioning but is subordinate to delivery and access commitments.\n\n**Note:** This order is a provisional encoding from public evidence. The owner should confirm whether it reflects internal decision-making practice.\n\n---\n\n## Points to confirm\n\nThe following gaps remain after reconciling all available evidence. An owner decision is needed before these can be encoded as operational rules.\n\n- **Operational decision for vertical integration:** What is the internal rule when a market cannot yet be served by Aira's own hardware? Is the decision to install a third-party unit, delay entry, or decline the job?\n- **Operational decision for affordability:** Is interest-free financing a permanent structural commitment or a market-entry tactic subject to change? Is it available in all active markets or only the UK?\n- **Example for affordability:** A concrete customer story or before/after scenario that shows the access value in practice would strengthen this entry.\n- **Exact language for the boiler value:** Does Aira use \"the boiler is the enemy\" as active brand language, or is it internal positioning only? If internal only, agents should not reproduce the phrase verbatim in customer-facing copy.\n- **Priority conflict resolution:** If affordability (value 2) and mission scale (value 3) pull in opposite directions — for example, a market opportunity that is large but requires raising prices — which wins?\n\n## Evidence record\n\nThe following attributable source language is preserved because it materially constrains this profile.\n\n### Owner-confirmed evidence\n\n> Aira backs installations with a 15-year guarantee, making free adjustments if the homeowner is unsatisfied, to de-risk adoption for the first year. After the first year, the owner has the option to continue their cover for a low monthly fee.\n\nSource: Public source\n\n### Qualification\n\n> we do install other heat pumps, Daikin in Italy, Vaillant as well\n\nSource: lcp.com — https://www.lcp.com/en/podcasts/aira-a-heat-pump-disruptor\n", "signature": "gx9yviMj9zs+4nI5SGhnKqCV4HQxFWPWUhv6+vpMq4smJ9fCFgj4MM2BeNxD0Sk393Vs4+JSDIn4q+L5aVMyAA==", "sha256": "e926e144556026dc41f59e64ee0edf5a076ed57c3e56a3e3024b7b2cd0b3f432", "kid": "v1", "content_type": "text/markdown; charset=utf-8", "html_url": "https://registry.encodedbrands.ai/brands/aira-956378e2/files/values", "json_url": "https://registry.encodedbrands.ai/brands/aira-956378e2/files/values/data.json", "source_url": "https://registry.encodedbrands.ai/brands/aira-956378e2/source/values.md", "canonical_source_url": "https://registry.brandcontextprotocol.dev/aira-956378e2/.well-known/brand/values.md" } ] }
