🚨BREAKING: Bay Area startup introduces flat-rate, single-room heat pumps installed in less than an hour. @MerinoEnergy launched Merino Mono: a new HVAC device that's less expensive, faster to install, and can be plugged into a regular 120V outlet (the same thing you plug your phone charger into). Over 50% of homes in San-Francisco don't have AC units, where the co-founders, Mary-Ann and Brad, happen to be neighbors. Heat pumps typically require an indoor unit and an outdoor unit, connected by refrigerant lines, to facilitate this process. That goes for whole-home heat pump systems using ductwork as well as "mini-splits," which typically heat and cool a specific room in a house or something like an ADU in the backyard or a converted garage. Rau and Hall designed the Merino Mono to use that same high-efficiency technology of a mini-split, but without the indoor and outdoor units. Instead, they've pulled the outdoor unit inside and combined it with the indoor unit to create one streamlined device that looks like a modernized, unobtrusive radiator box. Merino Mono is available for pre-orders, with reservations secured for a $38 deposit. Marble is proud to have supported the Merino team from day zero by co-building the company and becoming their first check investor. Go Merino!
