How the Gradient heat pump works
No system looks or works like the Gradient.
Engineered to be svelte. Our heat pump technology uses water to distribute heat inside while keeping the high pressure refrigerant outside, resulting in less noise and less bulk.
Commercial grade power. Inside are professional-level components like variable speed fans, large heat exchangers and reversible operations that keep you cool or warm all year-round.
Designed for the home. By adding a secondary coolant loop at a much lower pressure, we’ve built a modular design that you can set up, install and control yourself.

Testimonials
“I’m also working on decarbonizing my apartment. The uninsulated 1910 Victorian flat has two nasty gas heaters, which we turned off (like gas stoves, they leak methane and toxic chemicals) in favor of electric heaters. I was lucky enough to be able to beta test a small, portable heat pump that miraculously both heats and cools apartments with incredible efficiency. I have chilled out in front of the heat pump on our hot days, and it also keeps me cozy when it’s cold and foggy.”

"It runs quiet and it cooled the room right down on a hot night in Oaktown! So far so good. :)"
