**Quilt’s Game-Changing Three-Zone Heat Pump Revolutionizes Efficiency**
Imagine a world where your home heating system is as efficient as it is comfortable. Welcome to the world of Quilt, a revolutionary residence startup that’s been making waves in the industry with its innovative approach to warmth pumps. Just this week, they launched a three-zone warmth pump that’s set to disrupt the status quo in a big way.
At the heart of Quilt’s success lies its commitment to collecting and analyzing data from its warmth pumps. Unlike traditional competitors, Quilt’s systems are internet-connected and packed with sensors, giving them a treasure trove of information to work with. By analyzing this data, Quilt’s engineers have been able to do things that others haven’t, like shipping an over-the-air update that unlocked an extra 20% capacity in existing systems.
But it’s this same data-driven approach that’s allowed Quilt to develop its new three-zone warmth pump, which promises to deliver unparalleled efficiency in even the most challenging conditions. With its ability to direct heating or cooling to specific zones, this unit is a game-changer for large installations, making them cheaper and easier to implement while minimizing the exterior footprint.
So, what makes Quilt’s three-zone warmth pump so special? For starters, it’s designed to optimize performance in conditions that stump traditional systems. Most warmth pumps work best when run at variable speed, but there are limits to how low they can function. Compressors become less secure at low speeds, making them harder to regulate. Quilt, however, was able to draw on data collected from its existing systems to develop a more efficient solution.
“We were able to analyze the data and identify patterns that allowed us to optimize our designs,” said Matthew Knoll, co-founder and CTO at Quilt. “In the past, most programs were developed in a lab under a few test conditions because testing is costly. And you end up with a sort of average product.”
Quilt’s thousand-strong fleet of warmth pumps has given them a unique advantage in this regard. By analyzing the data, they’ve been able to identify areas for improvement and make targeted changes to their designs. The result is a system that can deliver almost 90% of its rated capacity at -13˚ F (-25˚ C) without sacrificing low-demand efficiency or comfort.
But that’s not all. Quilt’s three-zone warmth pump also allows for individual zone control, which means you can direct heating or cooling to specific areas of your home. This not only saves energy but also reduces waste. Each indoor head can be controlled independently, supplying as little as 2,210 BTUs of heat or 1,570 BTUs of cooling. And if heating or cooling isn’t needed, refrigerant still flows through the lines, but the outdoor unit’s low-speed efficiency means it only releases around 300 BTUs of heat in heating mode.
Quilt’s commitment to data-driven innovation isn’t stopping here. The company is dedicated to creating more efficient and environmentally friendly solutions for all homes, and with its focus on data collection and analysis, it’s unlikely that you’ll see any less of them anytime soon.
So, what’s next? Stay tuned for more innovations from Quilt as they continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible. And if you’re as excited about the intersection of technology and business as we are, be sure to catch us at the TechCrunch event in San Francisco on October 13-15, 2026.
