They rattle, we purr.

Gradient’s modular design places the power and noise outside your window, leaving you with heating and cooling that keeps the calm inside.

They rattle, we purr.

Gradient’s modular design places the power and noise outside your window, giving you a cool that keeps the calm.

Comfort is in your control.

Our commercial grade heat pump technology is more efficient than traditional window AC units, which saves on energy consumption and monthly bills.

Energy efficient.

We're currently awaiting our official efficiency rating. But we estimate a greenhouse gas emissions reduction of up to 95% when the Gradient is used to cool and heat, depending on your source of electricity. That’s like choosing to walk instead of drive up to 15 miles daily – just by switching to Gradient.i* Assumes that an entire household in a moderate climate powered with 2 tons of HVAC capacity (24,000 BTU/hr) replaces their heating and cooling system with Gradient powered by decarbonized electricity; that household uses 2.65 kgCO2eq/day without Gradient and 0.14 kgCO2eq/day with Gradient. This absolute reduction of 2.51 kgCO2eq/day per household represents a 94.7% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Vehicle is a Toyota Prius that creates 104 g/km of carbon CO2 pollution per MacKay.

Our end goal is to achieve a 100% carbon reduction; we see our current model as a very important and very big first step toward that goal.

How it works

No system looks or works like Gradient.

HVAC systems are designed to move heat using a refrigerant. Because they work under high pressure, mini splits require professional, expensive installation. As for window ACs...well, that high pressure system is the reason they're designed as that big, bulky box that takes over your window.

Engineered to be svelte.

Our heat pump technology uses
water to distribute heat inside while keeping the high pressure refrigerant outside, resulting in less noise and less bulk.

Designed for the home.

By adding a secondary coolant loop at a much lower pressure, we’ve built a modular design that you can set up, install and control yourself.

Commercial grade power.

Inside are professional-level components like variable speed fans, large heat exchangers and reversible operations that keep you cool or warm all year-round.
