Quilt

In the second episode of our Long-Term Thinking series, “Building products that last,” we spotlight two members of our hardware team: Mei Zhang and Samuel Gregory. Mei brought to life the vision of our industrial designers, Mike & Maaike, in the physical product design. From there, Sam architected a rigorous test suite to make sure those designs could truly stand the test of time. A major part of modernizing the heat pump is giving it the ability to improve over time. That's why we built Quilt with a smart module that has 500x more processing power than any other system on the market. Because it’s positioned directly in the line of airflow, the smart module was subjected to a demanding set of test conditions to validate its long-term performance and durability. Sam also shares insights into another engineering challenge: delivering the high performance of a much larger system within Quilt’s compact, sleek form — a feat achieved through thoughtful thermal and mechanical engineering and exhaustive testing. Ultimately, our goal is to create technology that seamlessly integrates into your life and your home — and lasts for decades. #ClimateTech #Sustainability #LongTermThinking #productengineering #engineering #engineeringhardward #HeatPumps #HVAC

🎵From the creative minds who brought you the world’s first heat pump capsule collection. Introducing the Quilt Nano: The first-ever pocket-sized heat pump that doubles as a speaker! Customers have loved being able to heat and cool their homes with Quilt - but perfect climate should be portable, too! That's why our engineers have been secretly using their miniaturization skills to develop the Quilt Nano. Now you can heat and cool on the go – and that’s not all! Breakthrough features include: - 400% efficiency at less than 0.1% the size of an actual Quilt Outdoor Unit - Transitions seamlessly from cooling you down to pumping up the beats - Only plays songs about heat pumps, specifically “(I’m Your) Heat Pump" by Michael Roberts featuring Will Hammond Jr. - Completely defies the laws of thermodynamics. Please don’t tell our lawyers we said this. Can’t wait to get your hands on one? Comment where you’d take the Quilt Nano this sultry spring and we’ll choose one winner who will receive this limited edition innovation. (We’re not joking). Disclaimer: The Quilt Nano cannot actually heat or cool your home. Or your body. Yet. But our speaker prototype does play music, which is almost as cool. Literally. https://lnkd.in/gtfAQyBR

We believe designing for the home requires a deep commitment to long-term thinking — creating products that are not only beautiful but also easy to maintain and upgrade over time. In the first video of our Long-Term Thinking Series, “Designing for the Home,” we explore how this philosophy shaped the design of our heat pump system. To bring this vision to life, we partnered with San Francisco-based industrial design studio Mike & Maaike, who focused on making Quilt feel like an integrated part of the home — not just another appliance. By designing for the context of the home, Maaike Evers and Mike Simonian arrived at a simple, understated aesthetic and a modular design system rooted in sustainability. #ClimateTech #Sustainability #LongTermThinking #productdesign #industrialdesign #HeatPumps #HVAC

Who said saving the planet can't be stylish? 💁♀️ We’re on a mission to banish those "hefty heat pump" eyesores while making "green heating more appealing" with heat pumps designed to blend seamlessly into your beautiful home. The cherry on top? Our smart systems automatically adjust based on room occupancy, saving energy without you having to lift a finger. Being sustainable has never looked (or felt) this good. Check us out in the full write-up in the latest issue of Country & Town House Magazine’s "Good News" section. Here's to proving that doing right by the planet can be the most stylish choice you make. ✨ See page 102: https://lnkd.in/ekk_8J-q

🔥❄️ California just unveiled the nation's first state blueprint to deploy 6 million heat pumps by 2030 – and we're here for it! 🐻 The Golden State needs 23 million heat pumps by 2045 to reach carbon neutrality. As we've helped homeowners upgrade to smart heat pumps, we've encountered the exact barriers identified by the California Heat Pump Partnership: incentive programs that feel like solving a puzzle, lack of awareness and understanding of heat pumps, and permitting processes stuck in the past. The good news? The blueprint's core mission to advance heat pump adoptions is a philosophy we wear on our sleeves, and it’s exactly why we've focused on creating heat pumps people want in their homes, with elegance, intelligence, and efficiency that provide comfort and make an impact. ⚡ Thank you California Energy Commission for your leadership in developing this critical roadmap through public-private partnership. Let's continue driving the future of home comfort, one smart heat pump at a time. https://lnkd.in/eg_Jaq34

🏆 We’re honored to share that Quilt has been named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies of 2025! Our journey began with a question: Why do people have to choose between sustainability and comfort? Between efficiency and beauty? Between doing what's right for the planet and what feels right for their home? The answer became Quilt – a revolutionary approach to home climate that: - Achieves unparalleled efficiency (the most efficient 2-zone heat pump on the market) - Complements your home's design rather than corrupting it - Intelligently adapts to how you actually live - Makes moving off fossil fuels an upgrade, not a compromise This recognition isn't just about our technology. It's about our vision for a future where sustainability is the desirable choice, not just the dutiful one. We can’t wait to share what else we have in store for this year. #FCMostInnovative https://lnkd.in/gNnNnaA2

Life happens. That’s why the Quilt Dial isn't just beautiful – it's thoroughly tested. We subject our smart climate control Dials to rigorous testing, mimicking everything from humidity to tumbles, to accidental spills and splashes. Our obsession with durability means you get a system that's as robust as it is elegant. Each Quilt Dial is engineered to deliver precise comfort control while standing up to real-world conditions in any room of your home.

At Quilt, we believe that smart design is more than just aesthetics – it's about creating comfortable, sustainable solutions that seamlessly integrate into people's lives. Our collaboration with industrial designers Maaike Evers and Mike Simonian of Mike & Maaike embodies this philosophy. With their partnership and expertise, we’ve built sleek, highly-efficient heat pumps that enhance home comfort while significantly reducing carbon footprints. Thank you Moooi and IDEO for facilitating the conversation and hosting such an engaging and thought-provoking panel! Smart design not only delivers a more modern home comfort experience, but can make sustainable choices intuitive and desirable – the ultimate win-win. https://lnkd.in/gu79CjB3
