Quilt's heat pumps are built containing a suite of sensors, which have delivered mountains of data that allow its engineers to wring added performance out of its systems.
TL;DR
- Quilt introduced a new three-zone heat pump capable of driving three indoor units from a single outdoor unit.
- The new product aims to simplify installations, reduce costs, and minimize outdoor footprint for larger homes.
- Quilt utilizes extensive data from its sensor-rich, internet-connected heat pumps to improve product performance.
- An earlier over-the-air update unlocked an additional 20% capacity for existing units.
- The new three-zone unit overcomes challenges with low-speed compressor stability using real-world operational data.
- Quilt's design, including a larger copper coil and smaller compressor, allows for nearly 90% capacity at -13°F (-25°C).
