The impetus for buying a heat pump is need, rarely desire; you do so with the very modest hopes they won't exist as an eyesore. But Y Combinator-backed US startup Electric Air wants to change that perception, offering a residential electric heat pump system that we dare say might do for HVAC as the Tesla Powerwall did for residential energy storage: make them covetable.
Electric Air's heat pump system comprises four modules: a Condenser, Air Handler & Humidifier, wall-mounted Air Conditioner, and a Thermostat. Reimagined by London-based design agency Blond under the direction of James Melia, the Electric Air's all-electric heating and cooling HVAC system features a design language more attuned to home technology devices than traditional clunky HVAC hardware.
