The SmartCocoon Story: Enhancing Home Comfort
At SmartCocoon, we truly believe every room in your home should feel just right. This core commitment to comfort is what inspired our company's creation.
Our co-founder, Kaveh Raeesi, an engineer, moved to Canada from Iran about 15 years ago. As he settled into his new life, he quickly noticed a common issue many homeowners faced: uneven temperatures. Some rooms were always too hot, while others remained cold. This discomfort wasn't just annoying; it also led to wasted energy and higher utility bills.
Recognizing this widespread problem, SmartCocoon was established in 2016. Our mission was clear: to bring balanced comfort to every home, making your entire living space truly enjoyable. We developed the SmartCocoon booster fan as a quick, affordable solution.
Our journey began with immense dedication. We started mass production in 2021, always believing in our product and, most importantly, in our customers. We're a proud, small Canadian company, delighted that over 20,000 happy customers have welcomed us into their homes and trusted our solution.
Our Growth and Vision
Today, SmartCocoon booster fans are widely available, making comfort more accessible than ever. You can find them on major platforms like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart, and in leading retailers such as Home Depot and RONA. We've also formed strong partnerships with HVAC companies and professionals, a testament to the recognized quality of our approach.
Ultimately, our story is about improving daily life at home. Imagine cozy evenings with loved ones, a truly peaceful night's sleep, or your pets napping comfortably anywhere in the house. Our diverse Canadian team shares one powerful goal: we want you to fully enjoy every corner of your home. This innovative product ensures year-round comfort, effectively helping homes through both cold winters and hot summers. What's more, our solutions offer significant health and environmental benefits, advantages that extend to your entire family, including your furry friends.
At SmartCocoon, we're dedicated to a singular purpose: making your home perfectly comfortable, balancing every room to create your ideal living environment.
Thank you for your trust,
