The heat pump your home actually deserves.
Quilt is the only mini-split that looks like it belongs in your home — not like it was bolted to your wall as an afterthought. Real white oak veneer. OLED thermostat. SEER2 of 25. And it gets smarter over time.
The Problem With Every Other Mini-Split
You've been putting it off because they're ugly.
You know you need a heat pump. You know it makes financial and environmental sense. But every time you look at a standard mini-split — that big white plastic box bolted to your wall — you think: "Not in my home."
Homeowners across the Lower Mainland have been Googling "how to hide a mini-split" for years. People are building custom wood boxes around them, hanging curtains in front of them, painting them to match the wall. The product was never designed to belong in a beautiful home.
Quilt was designed from the ground up to solve exactly this problem.
"Finally, an energy-saving mini-split you won't want to hide."
— Wirecutter, The New York Times
Four Parts. One System.
Everything works together — beautifully.
Quilt isn't just a prettier mini-split. It's a complete rethink of how a home climate system should look, feel, and perform.
The Indoor Unit
At only 7⅞ inches tall — 40% shorter than standard mini-splits — the Quilt indoor unit is designed to disappear into your space. Choose a real white oak veneer that looks like furniture, or a white cover you can paint any colour or wallpaper to match your walls exactly.
- Real white oak veneer or paintable white cover
- Millimeter wave occupancy detection
- Built-in accent lighting with adjustable colour
- 27–48 dBA — quieter than rainfall
- Over-the-air updates (system improves over time)
The Dial
A compact smart thermostat with a 326ppi OLED display that goes completely dark when not in use. No glowing dot on your wall. Wall-mount it or place it on a tabletop. Matte glass finish. Touchscreen and rotary dial. It's the thermostat your home deserves.
- OLED display — truly dark when off
- Wall-mount or tabletop
- Ambient temp, motion, proximity detection
- 2.4/5 GHz Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 5.2
The Outdoor Unit
Matte black exterior that blends into your home's exterior rather than dominating it. Quieter than a conversation at 50–52 dBA. Uses R32 refrigerant with 3x lower global warming potential than the R410A used by most competitors. Ground-mount or wall-mount.
- Matte black finish
- R32 refrigerant — 3x lower GWP
- 50–52 dBA — quieter than conversation
- Ground or wall mountable
Quilt Intelligence
The Quilt app gives you room-by-room control from anywhere. Auto-Away uses millimeter wave occupancy sensing to automatically reduce energy use when rooms are empty — cutting energy consumption by up to 44% in tested homes. The system gets smarter over time via OTA updates.
- Auto-Away saves up to 44% energy
- Room-by-room scheduling
- Live energy reporting
- Family and guest permission levels
In Real Homes
This is what HVAC looks like when it's designed, not just installed.
Every other mini-split was designed to heat and cool. Quilt was designed to live in your home.
