We're excited to announce that Amply has partnered with Quilt, the first new heat pump manufacturer in over 100 years. As of today, Quilt's industry-leading ductless heat pump systems are available as 3D models in Amply's Virtual Install feature.
This partnership brings together two companies obsessed with the same question: how do we give heat pump contractors every possible advantage over their competition?
For Amply, that means building the fastest, most accurate way to measure homes and design systems. For Quilt, it means reimagining heat pumps from the ground up—designing hardware that's more efficient, better looking, and smarter than anything else on the market.
Together, we're giving the best heat pump installers in the country tools that make them impossible to compete with.
Why Quilt?
When Paul Lambert, Quilt's founder and CEO, joined us on The Heat Pump Podcast, he explained why he started a technology company focused on heat pumps: "The energy transition is the defining opportunity of our time."
But Quilt isn't just another manufacturer slapping together components from the same supply chain. They're building products that leverage what makes heat pumps fundamentally different—and better—than fossil fuel systems.
Record-breaking efficiency. Quilt broke the efficiency record for two-zone ductless systems with a SEER2 rating of 25 and HSPF2 of 12 by integrating hardware and software in ways legacy manufacturers can't. As Paul put it: "We're starting with the best-in-class mechanical components, but we're able to get additional efficiency through our software. We have more than 500x the compute power on board than the next best mini split."
Design that homeowners actually want. One of the biggest objections to ductless heat pumps? They're ugly. Quilt solved it. Their indoor units are sleek, compact, and designed to look at home on any wall. Paul's user research found that aesthetics ranked in the top three concerns 100% of the time. "We want heat pumps to be a coveted thing," he said. "Something people are proud to have in their home."
Room-by-room control that changes lives. When Quilt surveys customers, the most common feedback is this: "Room-by-room control has changed my life." No more heating the living room while you sleep. No more kids waking up because their bedroom is too hot or too cold. This is the kind of experience that wins referrals and builds reputations.
Quilt isn't just making better equipment. They're elevating the entire category.
What This Means for Amply Customers
If you're already using Amply to measure homes faster and design systems more accurately, you now have access to Quilt's equipment in your workflow.
Virtual Install with Quilt models. Using augmented reality on your iPad, you can show homeowners exactly how a Quilt system will look on their walls—before you install anything. This is a game-changer for selling ductless, especially to homeowners who are hesitant about aesthetics. Instead of asking them to imagine it, you can show them.
Design with the best. Quilt's systems are optimized for comfort and efficiency in ways that traditional equipment isn't. When you pair that with Amply's Manual J and system design tools, you're delivering proposals that are technically sound, visually compelling, and nearly impossible for competitors to match.
Differentiation that matters. Quilt is limiting the number of dealers they work with in each market. If you're certified to install Quilt, you're offering something your competitors aren't. If you're using Amply to design and present those systems, you're stacking advantages.
Built for the Long Term
Both Amply and Quilt are in this for the long haul. Paul's vision for Quilt isn't a quick exit—it's building a company that matters for decades. "When people talk about this era of humanity 500 years from now, it's going to be defined by the energy transition," he told us. "I want to be part of that."
We feel the same way.
The contractors who win in heat pumps aren't the ones chasing short-term trends. They're the ones investing in tools, training, and partnerships that compound over time. They're the ones who understand that doing heat pumps right—measuring accurately, designing thoughtfully, installing beautifully—is what builds a business worth keeping.
This partnership is about giving those contractors every possible edge.
