Quilt is a heat pump system that’s pretty smart

Quilt, a new venture by ex-Googlers, introduces a stylish and smart heat pump-powered mini-split system aimed at revolutionizing home climate control. The system features sleek, customizable units and advanced sensors for efficient room-specific heating and cooling, controlled via a smartphone app and a sophisticated remote called the Dial.

Despite its innovative design and functionality, Quilt's system faces challenges such as high costs, with prices starting at $6,499 per room, and installation limited initially to the Bay Area. The company plans to handle sales to installation, promising to assist with rebates and incentives to mitigate costs.
