Harvest Thermal makes homes massively more sustainable by replacing gas heating and hot water with the lowest carbon system on the market today. By shifting the electric consumption of the heat pump to the middle of the day when the grid is cheap, clean, and abundant with renewable energy, the system cuts carbon emissions by 90% compared to gas and 50% compared to standard heat pump configurations. Homeowners also save up to 48% on monthly heating bills, enabling cost-effective adoption at scale.
The brains of the system is the Harvest Pod. Using machine-learning-generated algorithms, sensors, and controls, the Pod optimizes for grid emissions, utility rates, energy usage, and customer comfort. It transforms an ordinary water tank into a thermal battery that delivers heating and hot water whenever needed. As more homes electrify their heating and hot water, Harvest Thermal's IoT system functions as a "virtual power plant" relieving stress on the grid during winter morning and evening peaks.
Fast Company's editors and writers sought out the companies making the biggest strides around the globe. The World's Most Innovative Companies is Fast Company's signature franchise and one of its most highly anticipated editorial efforts of the year. It provides a firsthand look at the inspiring and innovative efforts of companies across all sectors of the economy.
