Homes
Heat pumps like it slow and steady. Prices change every hour.
A heat pump works best when it runs gently, and on an hourly energy tariff the price of power moves all day. We are testing whether a microclimate assistant can keep each room comfortable while using power when it is cheap.
What we are testing, not a result.
Pre-heat when it is cheap. Coast when it is not.
-
Each room, its own comfort
Bedroom, office and living room need different things at different times. One setting cannot do all three.
-
Pre-heat when power is cheap
If prices are low at noon or at night, the house can warm up a little early.
-
Coast when it is expensive
At the price peak in the evening the house can ease off, while the rooms you are in stay comfortable.
Sound like you?
If any of these fit, we would like to talk.
- You have a heat pump, or are getting one.
- Your energy contract has hourly prices.
- Some rooms are never quite right.
What we still need to learn
- Which heat pumps and thermostats we can work with.
- How people actually want to use it day to day.
- What it is worth to a household. We do not know yet, and we will not guess.
Become a founding pilot partner
We are early, and we would rather build this with the people who will use it. A pilot partner helps us get it right before anyone else sees it.
-
You shape the product
Tell us what is hardest, and we build around it.
-
You get early access
First in line when a pilot slot opens.
-
No commitment
Say stop at any time, no hard feelings.
-
We ask for little of your time
A couple of short conversations to start.
How a pilot works
-
Talk
A short call. We learn what is hardest about your rooms.
-
Pick a room or two
We choose a small, low-risk start together.
-
Try it, advice only
The device measures and suggests. Your own systems stay in charge.
-
Look back together
We compare notes on comfort and everyday work, and decide what comes next.
We have no pilots yet, so this is our plan, not a track record.
Questions people ask
What is it, in one sentence?
A small device in each room that measures the air, learns what comfortable means for you, and suggests when to heat. Not a replacement for your heating, a layer on top.
Will it replace my thermostat?
Not by itself. We are still working out which heat pumps and thermostats we can work with. If you want to shape that, become a pilot partner.
What data do you collect?
Readings from the room, like temperature, humidity and air quality, and your feedback when you give it. The thinking happens on the device. No cameras, no microphones.
How much will it save?
We do not know yet, and we will not promise numbers. That is exactly what pilots are for.
What does it cost?
We are still working that out. Pilots come first.
