   Mind sharing some details of your install - equipment model/size, controls, and cost of install?

   I understand the confusion around the install. The process for homeowners won't be fend for yourself and twist a contractor's arm to do an install, Electric Air will have local contractors that we connect you with.

   Vertically, no, would mess up condensate return path. Not recommended under a bed or behind a headboard either, you ideally want it high up on a wall so it has the best chance of mixing its supply air with the rest of the room.

   Thanks for the feedback! What type of system do you have today, and if you're ok sharing, what part of the world are you in?

   Pricing on the main product page. In the future I'll link to pricing from the preorder page as well. Been answering comments all day so no time to change yet!

   Exactly. There's lots of stuff you can stitch together yourself, and if you're a DIY person, its more fun/rewarding to do it that way. I think the majority of homeowners will want something that doesn't require doing the

   Wholeheartedly agree with the comment about oversized heat pumps - this also has the side effect of lots of homes in the Northeast being told they can't use their duct work without a major upgrade, or an unnecessary electrical panel up

   Thanks for your support! What do you use for heating and cooling today?

    Definitely hearing the feedback that we need better communication on pricing and sizing! A 24kbtu at 5F heat pump is much bigger than a 24kbtu heat pump at 47F so its not an apples to apples comparison. You're right about ductless offe

    Have you looked at the relative cost of wood + fuel oil vs a heat pump. I think you'd be surprised how quickly it pays off.

    I would agree with you if there was major technical risk, but this is a system integration problem. Re manufacturing, there are millions of heat pumps made every year, and an ecosystem of contract manufacturers and thermal parts suppliers.

    No problem if you don't want to use an app, just use the thermostat. The system runs fine without internet connectivity. What you get with a wifi connection is the thermostat can access signals that increase system efficiency (demand r

    Great question, for that type of system, you can either do a mini-split install which Electric Air could support, or an air to water heat pump which would still utilize your existing wall radiators or radiant (underfloor) heating.

    Some background on CO2 systems. On the one hand, great, because CO2 has a GWP of 1 as you point out. On the other, the operating pressures are much higher than other conventional refrigerants (80+bar vs 20bar). Because of this high pressure

    24V controls: Any inverter heat pump will run best with a communicating thermostat. We can make efficiency sacrifices to run the system on 24V controls, but it would not be my recommended setup. Refrigerants: this is largely dictated by com

    If you need something today, Mitsubishi or Daikin, and for ducted specifically, Mitsubishi.

    Nothing wrong with heat pumps being hip and cool! Electric Air gives you (1) easy purchase, financing install (2) built in air quality sensors and controls (3) a thermostat that's actually good, and fully utilizes the efficiency of you

    Thanks for your perspective! Regarding the overall energy story, do you think decarbonizing the economy should be a national priority, and if so, what is the proper approach to take?

    Thanks for sharing your perspective! Cold weather and general performance has come a long ways thanks to variable speed equipment and vapor injection. Re climate change messaging, I think you're right. The product page doesn't hav

    Wow, sorry you had to go through that setup hassle. I would also say you are probably in the 1% of motivated homeowners trying to get those details right. A lot of this difficulty seems like it stemmed from trying to get the Ecobee to play

    We are primarily targeting ducted options. For us, air quality means manage particulate (PM2.5), CO2 with fresh air intake, and humidity in the home.

    Though somewhat controversial, ZoomLock also seems promising. Agreed though, there are obvious benefits to having a fully factory sealed refrigerant loop.

    It's a different but valid approach. You still need a pump station and someone comfortable with hydronic loop install/fittings. Some areas also ban PEX. Northeast is definitely the place to do this, as there is way more hydronic k

    Good question. The uniform temp is really within a room, what you're describing is the not uncommon experience of having unbalanced duct work. A few options for you (1) DIY or pro duct balancing. You change the position of dampers and
