About

“I spent 10 years fixing machines. Now I'm rebuilding what they throw away.”

Christopher Dunn, founder & CEO of The Heat Exchange Corporation.

In Chris's words

Paid for twice, every single time

Hydraulics, electrical, mechanical systems. Diagnostics, preventive maintenance, keeping industrial operations alive. That's where I lived for a decade.

And everywhere I worked, I saw the same thing: enormous amounts of heat, just vented. Paid for twice, once to make it and once to get rid of it.

So I started The Heat Exchange Corporation and we built Electofusion. I know exactly where the waste is because I've worked inside the machines.

Bootstrapped

Custom PC builds fund the R&D

Chris hand-builds liquid-cooled PCs, and every commissioned build goes back into Electofusion. The same cooling loops that pull heat off a CPU or GPU route it into Electofusion at the cafe.
