But a major obstacle to wider adoption is their installation cost, which runs thousands of dollars more than traditional HVAC systems. To cut the upfront expense, heat pump startup Jetson uses tech to assess projects remotely so they’re only on-site for installation day. And it’s turning to vertical integration to cut costs further, launching its own device, Jetson Air, in September. A 24/7 monitoring system alerts technicians of any potential defects while sensors track air quality and remind owners to replace their filters.
