Quilt Announces Exclusive Certified Partner Program and National Expansion to New Markets

Quilt, a leading innovator in smart home climate technology, today announced an evolution in its business with the introduction of its Certified Partner Program, a collaborative initiative connecting HVAC professionals with Quilt's category-defining heat pumps. As part of this strategic expansion, the company is also broadening its service to three new markets this year - Los Angeles, Seattle, and Portland - in addition to continuing its successful operations in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Renowned for its unwavering commitment to exceptional efficiency, elegant design, and groundbreaking performance, Quilt has rapidly distinguished itself, making a profound impact in less than a year since its launch. Over the past year the company has invested in understanding installation challenges, resulting in the creation of a top-tier support program tailored to address unique industry and field needs. Quilt’s national expansion and remarkable brand awareness, coupled with its best-in-class program, empowers HVAC professionals to capitalize on the booming heat pump market and enhance their competitive edge.

"The market opportunity for HVAC professionals who install high-efficiency ductless heat pumps is substantial," said Paul Lambert, CEO of Quilt. "Since our Bay Area launch, we've been inundated with requests from homeowners across the country asking when Quilt will be available in their region. With the launch of our Certified Partner Program, we're answering that demand while ensuring our installation partners can offer something truly distinctive. Together, we're able to deliver a premium home climate system that homeowners immediately recognize as different and desirable."

Quilt's smart heat pumps are applauded for their superior efficiency, sleek and modern design, and intuitive features, offering early installation partners a competitive edge for new business opportunities, and homeowners a climate experience that they are proud to show off:

• Industry-leading performance: Quilt is the most efficient 2-zone heat pump on the market. With a SEER2 rating of 25 and HSPF2 of 12, Quilt systems achieve 400% efficiency and provide the ultimate home comfort experience.
• Elegant design: At only 7⅞ inches tall, the sleek indoor units fit in more spaces, and are crafted with customizable front panels, offering a design-forward unit that complements home interiors. Plus, with the Quilt Dial and Quilt App, homeowners have climate control of every room, and are never left searching for missing, clunky remotes.
• Smart home innovation: Quilt’s occupancy detection technology and room-by-room control maximizes efficiency and contributes to cost savings. Plus, over-the-air software updates means Quilt’s performance will continue to improve.

Quilt's partnership with Bay Area-based HVAC company, Albert Nahman, has created substantial value for both organizations.

"We're excited to be among the first to offer our customers one of the most advanced heat pumps on the market," said Dan Laufer, CEO of Albert Nahman Plumbing. "Quilt gives our customers a solution that looks great in the home and operates intelligently. We have an opportunity here to achieve a strong competitive advantage in the heat pump marketplace. The Quilt team has been amazing to work with because they understand what matters to our business and our customers. It feels like a true partnership, not just another business relationship."
