FOR HOMES

Your thermostat is smart. Your AC is not.

The thermostat knows the room. AirPulse knows the machine: what it should be doing right now, what it's wasting, and when it drifts from its own normal. And you still get the phone control, day one, native to Apple Home.

What your heat pump costs to run

A 5-ton heat pump running year-round costs around $4,200a year on Con Ed's verified residential rate, heating and cooling combined. Heating and cooling are roughly a third of the average home's electric bill, and in an all-electric home (a heat pump through NYC winters) closer to half, so it's the biggest thing you can trim (EIA). If the charge is low or the coil's dirty, you're easily wasting 10 to 20 percent of that for nothing (a low charge alone costs 10-20%, Downey & Proctor; a clogged filter 5-15%, DOE), and you'd never know, because the house still gets cold.

Worse, that same neglect is what kills the compressor years early, and a new one in this city is $4,500 to $8,500.

Control from your iPhone, day one

Native to Apple Home; nothing to download, nothing to learn. Ask Siri or check it from anywhere.

Small fix, not a July breakdown

Spot a clogged drain or a worn part while it's still a small fix, not an emergency on the hottest day of the year.

Big-building intelligence in your house

Watching around the clock. It often flags a drift before you'd notice, so you hear about it on a quiet Tuesday, not during your kid's birthday party.

A price you can check against your bill

For a typical home heat pump, the 20% documented-fault scenario saves more than twice what Sense costs. Your numbers depend on your system, runtime, and rate; the homepage shows the math in full. Pricing is per outdoor unit, one node per compatible condenser, so a multi-head mini-split home is billed once per outdoor unit, not per indoor head.

It shows up in the data on a quiet Tuesday, not during your kid's birthday party.

How it's different from a smart thermostat

You still get the smart-thermostat part: set temperature and setpoint from your phone, in Apple Home, with Siri and automations. But a thermostat only notices when the room can't hold setpoint: the end of the degradation story. AirPulse reads the equipment itself (compressor behavior, circuit temperatures, cycling, current draw) against that unit's own learned baseline, and catches the beginning. It's control plus the intelligence a thermostat never had.

Put a mechanic's eyes on your AC, every hour.
