The Gradient Heat heat pump from 120V window I saw CES 2025 There was a clear, cold air on the floor of the Las Vegas convention center, sitting on a makeshift stand shared with other home electrification companies Biolithic and copper.
This is not your father window air conditioner. That noisy old job could not warm you up at all, and even less when it is out of zero. Therefore, the large heat pump on the gradient window is much greater – and more expensive.

Instead of sitting in the window and taking the entire space, like most window units, the gradient unit walks at the bottom of the window, with units outdoors and closed below, like the feet of the horse driver hanging from the saddle.

A powerful heat pump for small spaces
The model of all weather conditions was designed to boost the performance of the primary gradient heating model intended for moderate climate. The moderate climate model can retain the supplemental home when mercury drops to 40 degrees Fahrenheit. The pattern of all weather conditions, built to meet the needs of the New York Housing Authority, is rated for weather conditions up to minus-3 degrees.
The heat pump of gradient can be heated and cooled to 500 square meters, with 9,300 BTU cooling power up to 9,000 BTU for heating. But perhaps the coldest part is that this large device (weighs £ 140) can run a standard output of 120 volts-no electrical work is needed. A gradient official told CNET through E -you won't have to hire a professional to help install it. The heat pump of the window with all weather conditions can be installed independently.
Fog, wi-fi and more perks for a thermal pump
The unit has several exciting features. The outdoor unit has a diffuser that converts each condensate into fog, which means that no water is collected under it or drip on the ground below. Heat pumps are enabled by Wi-Fi and can be controlled either by the application or from the unit touch thermostat.
Heat pump also does not block the view of the window. Since hanging below, you can still open and close the window, see outside and use the upper part of the heat pump as a small surface area.
So far, grantent heat pumps have been mostly accessible only to specific buyers – namely, the New York housing. But company representatives told me that business clients can buy directly from gradient. Several units were made available to individual consumers through a distributor in the Newoujork area, but those quantities were very limited, and the company mostly sells to business activities. A graduated representative said the company believes it is the fastest way to increase electrification and that means you can see these heat pumps in business activities, schools or multifamilia housing.
The overall model has a MSRP of 3,800 USDs more than your typical window, but for something with much greater opportunity. And because it does not require any permits, channels or electrical work, expect the installation costs to be much lower than other ways to heat and cool your home.
