Home electrification company Jetson has launched the Jetson Air, the industry’s first fully integrated smart-home heat pump platform, featuring one-day installation and prices the company says are approximately half of what traditional contractors would charge.
Jetson Air integrates seamlessly with existing ductwork, delivering quiet operation and performing reliably in cold climates down to -22°F, a press release from Jetson said. Jetson Air layers in smart-home features such as around-the-clock remote monitoring, real-time performance alerts, over-the-air updates, and IAQ sensing. The combination of cost savings and advanced technology offers homeowners a complete heat pump platform that’s more affordable and designed to remain reliable and become increasingly efficient over time, the press release said.
“Jetson Air is bringing the same kind of innovation to your home’s heating and cooling that Tesla brought to your driveway: smart, electric, and built for the future,” said Stephen Lake, co-founder and CEO of Jetson. “Most heat pump systems today are still made and installed by companies rooted in gas equipment; they know hardware, not software. That’s a problem, because software is what unlocks real gains in efficiency, comfort, and control. Jetson Air uses continuous software updates, monitoring, and smart optimization to make your home more comfortable and your system more efficient, all while getting better over time.”
Before co-founding Jetson, Lake’s wearable technology company North (previously Thalmic Labs) grew to 400 employees before being acquired by Google in 2020. Lake then drew on his experience in consumer electronics and smart-home technology to focus on the aspects of heat pumps that most directly impact homeowners, as well as the complexities that have held the industry back, specifically in North America, the press release said. The result is a heat pump system with air quality sensors, an energy monitor, and a Jetson smart thermostat. Jetson Air’s smart features will also enable system optimization around time-of-use rates and demand-response events in the future, helping customers save money on their bills, support a more resilient grid, and reduce carbon emissions, the press release said.
“I have been closely monitoring my home’s energy use and carbon emissions, so I was able to notice a significant difference after switching to an all-electric system with Jetson,” said Robin Macqueen, a homeowner and Jetson customer in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. “During the first six months after installation, my gas bill decreased by $474 compared with the previous year, while my electric bill increased only $168, for a net savings of $306. I calculate that our CO2 emissions were reduced by 2.2 tons over the same six-month period. …We also benefited from summer cooling, which our gas furnace hadn’t provided. Additionally, the process of going electric was much simpler than I had anticipated, with an online quote and installation in a single day.”
Jetson’s online system provides transparent pricing in minutes, eliminating the need for in-home sales visits and complex estimates. By sourcing equipment directly from the factory and using local installation teams, Jetson removes intermediaries, reduces the risk of errors, and passes significant savings on to homeowners, the press release said.
With the addition of Jetson Care, a 10-year fully-inclusive warranty that covers monitoring, maintenance, and annual check-ups, homeowners gain peace of mind and protection from unexpected repair costs. Jetson also offers a smartphone app, the Jetson App, that helps customers track energy use, monitor IAQ, and receive real-time maintenance alerts to manage comfort and efficiency.
Customers in Massachusetts, Colorado, and British Columbia, Canada, have already experienced Jetson’s streamlined installation process. The company is now expanding into new markets, including New York.
