Ductless heat pumps for room climate

Overview

Quilt designs ductless heat pumps for room-by-room climate control using four components: Indoor Unit, Outdoor Unit, Dial, and App installed through a nationwide network of certified HVAC installers. The system heats or cools each room separately, controlled via the Dial and app, with remote diagnostics for technicians to monitor performance remotely. It stands out by combining a ductless, room-focused HVAC layout with software-enabled remote diagnostics and a installer-backed service network, led by former Google, Apple, and Nest engineers. The goal is precise, energy-efficient home climate control that makes individual rooms comfortable with connected hardware and remote monitoring.

Quilt now flags heat pump problems before service calls.

Quilt now flags heat pump problems before service calls. August 27, 2026 REDWOOD CITY, Calif. - Quilt, a manufacturer of ductless heat pumps, has launched Quilt Tools, a platform that gives Quilt Certified Partners proactive alerts and remote diagnostics so they know whether a system is actually broken before rolling a truck. Quilt Tools is the first remote diagnostics system for ductless heat pumps. Quilt began selling to contractors in 2025 and now has more than 150 Quilt Certified Partners installing its heat pumps in the U.S. and Canada. Every Quilt system is updatable over the air, which means Quilt can see how systems perform in the field and improve them after they ship. Once homeowners opt into sharing, Quilt Tools puts that visibility in partners' hands. "This industry treats the homeowner and the contractor as two customers with two separate products. We think it's one system, and it should be intelligent for both," said Paul Lambert, cofounder and CEO of Quilt, in a press release. "The same sensing and software that makes Quilt the smartest system for a homeowner is what lets a partner catch a problem before the homeowner calls. Quilt Tools surfaces that same intelligence, applied to their business." The dashboard flags systems that needs attention while issues are still small, and explains for each system, in plain language, what happened, the likely cause, and the affected device. Alerts go to the contractor partner, not the homeowner, so partners decide when to make the call instead of reacting to one. That capability rests on Quilt's software-first architecture, protected by a portfolio of issued and pending patents spanning predictive control algorithms, distributed system architecture, and remote monitoring. Legacy ductless equipment cannot be retrofitted to do this. "We've all had a customer tell us their system acts up at night, then it runs fine when we show up for the service visit. With Quilt Tools, I can pull up that exact window and see what actually happened," said Michael Yarolin of Thermodynamix in Westchester, New York. "We've installed more than 50 Quilt systems since last fall. It's the first equipment I sell where I know whether something's really broken before I put a tech in a truck." Quilt Tools has been in preview with six partners since July. Beyond diagnostics, the web app consolidates the workflow of Quilt's installation partners: the leads Quilt routes to partners, order tracking and invoicing, sales and marketing, and direct access to Quilt's partner support team. A contractor can give his or her entire staff access to the app under different roles, including office manager, technician, sales representative, and bookkeeper, each with access only to what that job requires. Looking for quick answers on air conditioning, heating and refrigeration topics? Try Ask ACHR NEWS, its new smart AI search tool. Ask ACHR NEWS Quilt supports partners at every step, and that starts before the job begins. Quilt's marketing platform generates customized multi-channel campaigns for each partner. At the installation, Toolbox, Quilt's installer feature in the Quilt App, streamlines commissioning. Quilt Tools then carries that support through the service life of the system. Quilt has also overhauled its partner program, organizing the Associate, Select, and Expert tiers around monthly installation performance rather than purchase volume. As partners install more Quilt systems, they move into higher tiers and earn more value. All Quilt Certified Partners receive access to Quilt Tools and Toolbox, installation and sales training, sales incentives, customizable marketing assets, and homeowner leads. Quilt's ductless heat pump is what makes the program possible. The two-zone model has a SEER2 rating of up to 25, while the three-zone model is rated at up to 25.3, and they have HSPF2 ratings of up to 12. More to the point for partners, the system improves after it is installed. A firmware update delivered in fall 2025 increased outdoor unit maximum capacity to 24,000 Btuh for cooling and 25,200 Btuh for heating across every installed system, with no new equipment required.

Quilt launches AI marketing platform for Certified Partners.

Quilt launches AI marketing platform for Certified Partners. Quilt has launched an industry-first AI marketing platform that builds fully customized seasonal campaigns for each of its Quilt Certified Partners in under two minutes. The platform gives partners best-in-class creative assets they can deploy in minutes - outperforming generic market creative, driving leads, and freeing their teams to focus on revenue instead of building campaigns from scratch or hiring an agency. It generates ready-to-deploy Meta ads, Google Performance Max ads, radio scripts, CTV scripts, emails, blogs, and organic social posts, each tailored to a partner's local market, company brand, and active promotions. The platform went from concept to launch in four weeks, a timeline that included writing nine compelling cooling season headlines, executing a full photo and video shoot, and building the tool from scratch. It outputs 98 distinct visual assets alongside an unlimited volume of customized copy. Partners across Quilt's network of over 130 Certified Partners spanning 43 U.S. states and Canadian provinces can access the platform today. "The HVAC industry has never had a tool like this, and that's exactly the point," said Lizz Niemeyer, VP of Marketing and Communications at Quilt. "We're building Quilt to be the OEM that treats partner success as a core part of our product. An AI-native marketing platform that understands local markets, generates campaigns that convert, and takes minutes instead of weeks - that's what it looks like when a tech company builds for the trades." "We've been using Quilt's marketing assets for months to efficiently drive leads and installs - the creative performs, and homeowners respond to it," said Timi Oyebanjo, Marketing Director at Home Comfort Alliance. "This tool takes it further. The blog content alone is optimized for how homeowners search today, with headings built around the questions they're actually asking. It's the kind of support you don't expect from an OEM." The platform factors in local climate conditions, housing stock, and active consumer promotions - so every campaign speaks to the homeowners a partner is actually trying to reach. A partner in Macomb, Mich., gets copy like: "It's July in Michigan. The upstairs is sweltering, the basement is cold, and your energy bill is climbing whether anyone's home or not." A partner in Washington, D.C. gets: "Washington, DC has a way of skipping spring. One week you're opening windows and the next you're sealing them shut and begging your aging AC to hold on through August." A partner in Halifax reads: "Halifax summers don't last long, but a hot house makes them feel even shorter." Partners choose from nine pre-written cooling season headlines tested for conversion, enter their company name, tagline, and promotional details, and walk away with a complete campaign in minutes. Twenty-five Quilt Certified Partners deployed the platform within its first two weeks. For the 2025 heating season, Quilt delivered a multi-channel campaign across seven marketing channels with assets that consistently outperformed partners' existing creative on cost per lead. This platform extends that investment to every partner, every season, at scale.

Quilt launches app for HVAC pros for cleaner, faster installs.

Quilt launches app for HVAC pros for cleaner, faster installs. Quilt has launched Toolbox, a dedicated app experience for HVAC professionals who have long been underserved by software built around the product rather than the people installing it. Engineers and designers from Google, Apple, and Nest built Toolbox to give Quilt Certified Partner technicians everything they need to run a cleaner, faster install, right from their phone. No more juggling paperwork, digging through manuals, or piecing together a system. This is the first step in Quilt's long-term commitment to giving its partners the tools, support, and resources to get the job done right - and grow a more profitable business doing it. Toolbox walks you through every stage of the job: starting and managing an installation, adding devices and sensors, calculating refrigerant charge, pulling up troubleshooting guides and how-to videos when you need them, and wrapping up with a clean homeowner handoff - all from the existing Quilt app for iOS and Android. The result is faster installs, fewer callbacks, and better margins. Toolbox launches after a standout review from NYT Wirecutter, which called Quilt "a smarter, better-looking mini-split" and noted that contractors consistently praised its controls as the best in the industry. "We're applying the same design thinking that shaped some of the most intuitive consumer products in the world to the experience of a technician on a jobsite, " said Claire Gagne, Head of Product at Quilt. "HVAC OEMs build incredible systems. The experience of installing and servicing them deserves the same attention. When a technician can move through a complex installation with speed and accuracy, that is a better business outcome for our partners and a better experience for the homeowner." The launch reflects Quilt's ongoing investment in the partner program. The company has grown its Quilt Certified Partner network to over 100 partners across 26 U.S. states and six Canadian provinces, with industry leaders like Southern Home Services, Home Comfort Alliance (Washington), Go Lime (Toronto), and GreenSavers (Oregon) among those in the network. "Before Toolbox, our technicians were piecing together the installation process from multiple sources: manufacturer docs, phone calls, their own notes. It worked, but it cost time on every single job. Now everything is in one place, and our team moves through installs with a confidence and speed we haven't seen before. Quilt clearly understandswhat it takes to run a successful installation business, and we're excited to see what they build next," said Robert Johnston, owner of Comfort Zone Heat and Air. Toolbox is available today through the existing Quilt app for iOS and Android, with no separate download required. Each Quilt Certified Partner organization receives a unique access code for their technicians. Toolbox is the foundation of something bigger. Later this year, Quilt will extend its software platform to help HVAC partners remotely diagnose fleet issues before dispatching a truck as well as catch installation issues while the install crew is onsite. These are new capabilities for mini-splits. Quilt's partner tools build on the same connected infrastructure that enabled Quilt to deliver a 22 percent cooling and 23 percent heating capacity increase to every installed system via over-the-air update in fall 2025. Quilt's software isn't a layer on the hardware product - it's fully integrated by design.
