This Heat Pump Water Heater Week, Jetson dropped some big news. They are bringing a heat pump water heater (HPWH) to market using the same model of vertical integration that they use with heat pump installations, where they procure all equipment as well as install and monitor the HPWHs, all for a fixed price.
CEO Stephen Lake talked with the Advanced Water Heating Initiative about the heat pump water heater that the company is launching into the market and the company’s unique way of owning every step of the installation process, which they believe drives down cost and improves customer experiences.
Jetson is also joining 17 other HPWH manufacturers in what is becoming a full, efficient water heating marketplace.
Jetson launched its heat pump model for heating and cooling homes just two years ago. They got started in Vancouver BC and Denver, and since have moved into New York, California, Tennessee and Maryland.
Their model is to own the entire process of heat pump installation, from quoting to procurement, to installation, to servicing and repairs. They also analyze data from their equipment to make sure systems are running optimally. Their goal is to tackle the two biggest hurdles to electrification and decarbonization — cost and consumer experience.
From heat pumps for space heating, the company is now moving into the heat pump water heater space. They said they’ve heard from homeowners who wanted their water heater replaced in addition to their furnace. And Jetson is bringing the same philosophy of owning the whole installation process, which could shake things up in the industry.
