3. Use Cases:
   • Personalized Comfort: Setting different temperatures for bedrooms, home offices, and living areas simultaneously.
   • Energy Savings: Leveraging occupancy detection and scheduling to reduce energy consumption in unused rooms.
   • Retrofitting & New Builds: Ideal for adding efficient climate control to spaces lacking ducts or in new sustainable home constructions.
   • Extreme Climate Performance: Providing efficient heating even in very cold climates due to its high HSPF2 rating and advanced heat pump technology.
   • Quiet Operation: Minimizing noise disruption in living spaces and outdoors.

Unique Advantages

1. Differentiation: Unlike traditional HVAC or standard mini-splits, Quilt uniquely offers software-upgradable hardware. Its recent 20% heating/cooling capacity boost via free over-the-air update (no hardware change) is unprecedented in the HVAC industry. It boasts significantly higher processing power (500x more than traditional systems) enabling advanced features like sophisticated occupancy sensing and future enhancements. Competitors lack this level of post-installation performance improvement.
2. Key Innovation: The core innovation is its cloud-connected, software-defined HVAC platform. This architecture allows Quilt to continuously deploy performance optimizations, efficiency gains (like the 20% capacity boost), and new features directly to installed systems, fundamentally changing the paradigm from static hardware to an improving system. Combined with its ultra-high efficiency ratings and elegant design, this sets a new benchmark.
