What is MDU?
MDU stands for “Multi Dwelling Units”. MDU is a branch of the Partner Success team which primarily focuses on partner service requests. This type of work consists of smart device installations across apartment homes. We install smart devices like hubs, locks, thermostats and others requested by our MDU partners. It is essentially smart device installations but at a much larger scale. Unlike our “direct to consumer” business where we usually install a device per home visit, these installations are done across many homes and usually entail multi-week project-based work.
Can you work on MDU?
We are looking for techs who are flexible, responsible and committed to making sure that the work they provide is delivered successfully while maintaining top quality installations.

How do payments work for project based work?
- Payments are broken down by the number of units you complete through a project. For example, if a project requires installation of 100 units, and we complete 98 of those 100, then your payout will be based on the 98 completed units.
- Payments will vary depending on the unit count, device type, and number of devices per unit being installed.
- The more successful you are at completing this kind of work, the more projects you will receive.
Do I need a team?
Although we are looking for teams and team leads who can help us with this type of work, you do not need a team to get started. We will help get you started by answering any questions you may have and providing resources and material to get you up to speed.
Do I need to get licenses or have special certifications?
You do not need to have a special license or certification. However, we are looking for electricians and HVAC-licensed contractors, so if you do have a license, there is potential for additional work. Furthermore, If you or anyone you know is licensed and is able to carry out electrical work in the state you live in, we would be happy to open this opportunity to them as well.
