At Merino, we believe that electrifying your home shouldn’t be complicated, expensive, or out of reach. We’re designing home products that are intuitive to use, simple to install, and built for everyday comfort—so more people can achieve the benefits of an electric home.
Home energy challenges we're solving
Installation cost
The cost of AC or heat pump installation is 4X the price of the appliance. That’s because traditional solutions were never designed to be easy to install — until now. With its novel design, Merino makes installation 8X faster than traditional solutions.
Utility bills
The first time most homeowners switch from gas to electric, they’re surprised to see that their utility bills go up. We believe the switch to electric should never come at a green premium. Our solution is the only one on the market that is more affordable than the gas alternative.
Grid reliability
If you’ve ever experienced a black out, you know firsthand how important back-up power is for critical appliances. Your heating and cooling is no exception — with Merino, your comfort is never sacrificed, even when the grid goes down.
Panel upgrades
Most homes are constrained by the amount of power that their electric panel can provide. Traditional appliances often require a panel upgrade, but these upgrades can be costly and time-consuming. By automatically shifting your electricity usage, Merino avoids the need for a panel upgrade.
