This is a really important consumer problem to solve. We retrofitted a heatpump into our home about a 18 months ago and it wasn’t a great experience. Ranging from contractors not even replying (retrofit being harder than new homes), wildly different quotes and setups, lack of (API) integration, uncharitable on planning and timelines, Etc. Note: This was before the energy prices spike because of the Russian invasion into Ukraine, it’s gotten worse since then.
We’ve seen two similar start-ups (direct to consumer heat pumps) in the Dutch market. Might be interesting to have a look:
- https://www.quatt.io/ (4 or 8kW at $5500- and $6500. After which you get about $3000 subsidy.)

- https://www.dewarmte.nl/product-pompao (2-8kW modulating at $6500, or $3500 with the subsidy)
Both marketed as hybrid pumps because they don’t provide hot tap water and that’s typically still done with gas. Electric boilers being uncommon here.
