Who is Aether?
Aether is the leading AI platform for building contractors at the intersection of roofing, solar, and HVAC. Top contractors use Aether to design solar systems, assess roofs, and plan HVAC system design — all in one integrated workflow. By streamlining operations and enabling service expansion, Aether helps contractors close more deals, boost margins, and cut customer acquisition costs.
The challenge
Inefficiencies and data gaps
Contractors often face frustrating inefficiencies in building assessments. Traditional processes involve onsite measurements, fragmented tools, and time-consuming workflows that are prone to error.
Time-consuming site visits
Before Aether, contractors relied on manual measurements, on-site visits, and disconnected tools for roofing estimates, HVAC designs, landscaping, and solar panel placements. These outdated methods slowed down projects and created costly inefficiencies.
Accuracy issues that impact results
Without precise data, measurements often fell short, leading to incorrect material orders and project delays. Further, incomplete or inaccurate building models often stalled sales cycles and conversions.
Limited digital adoption
Digital advancements in the roofing, HVAC, and solar industries were few and far between, leaving contractors stuck with manual processes.

The solution
Transforming workflows with Nearmap data
Combining Aether’s AI innovations with Nearmap aerial insights allows contractors to quickly deliver tailored solutions, gain customer trust, and improve overall project outcomes.
How it works:
- Remote evaluations: Nearmap enables Aether’s users to measure rooftops, analyze thermal envelopes, and survey properties from anywhere — limiting the need for site visits.
- Rapid 3D modeling: Aether’s powerful AI generates detailed, highly accurate 3D roof designs in seconds.
- Seamless industry solutions: Whether it’s solar panel alignment, HVAC system specs, landscaping, or roofing designs, Aether streamlines planning with top-tier precision.
The partnership with Nearmap allows Aether to power its AI engine with rich, reliable data — accelerating training at scale while giving users high-resolution imagery and 3D building models directly within the platform. This transformation hasn’t gone unnoticed as industry leaders like 4i Energy see the results firsthand.
