Meet the Perfect Roommate: The Roommate Micro Heat Pump

/

In the ever-evolving world of heating and cooling, finding a balance between efficiency, sustainability, and simplicity is a top priority. Enter the Roommate Micro Heat Pump, a system that adds a sorely needed option for single and multi-family spaces. Whether you’re retrofitting a historic building, upgrading your home, or constructing a new property, this compact and eco-conscious solution promises unmatched comfort and convenience. Let’s explore how the Roommate is transforming the HVAC landscape.

A Compact Solution for Big Challenges

The Roommate Micro Heat Pump is a sleek, self-contained unit that eliminates the need for traditional outdoor components, such as bulky condensers or rooftop units. This through-the-wall design saves both space and costs while preserving the aesthetic appeal of your property. For areas where outdoor equipment is impractical—think apartment complexes, historic buildings, or small lots—the Roommate offers a perfect fit.

Unlike conventional HVAC systems, the Roommate simplifies installation by removing the need for mechanical rooms, line sets, or refrigerant handling. Its plug-and-play design uses a standard 115V outlet, allowing homeowners and contractors to install the system with ease. This feature is especially appealing for DIY enthusiasts who want to upgrade their homes without the hassle of complex installations.

Four-Season Comfort, Year-Round Performance

The Roommate is more than just a heating or cooling system—it’s an all-in-one climate control dynamo. Designed to heat, cool, dehumidify, and circulate air, it ensures consistent comfort regardless of the season. Its high-efficiency inverter compressor and variable-speed fan work together to optimize energy use and maintain a stable indoor temperature.

The unit’s dehumidification feature is particularly impressive, capable of removing up to 2.5 pints of moisture per hour. By managing indoor humidity levels, the Roommate not only enhances comfort but also prevents mold growth and promotes healthier air quality.

Whisper-Quiet Operation

Peace and quiet are essential in any living space, and the Roommate excels in this area. With a “Quiet” mode that minimizes operational noise, the system is ideal for bedrooms, offices, and other spaces where tranquility is a priority. Unlike traditional HVAC units that can be disruptive, the Roommate operates at a whisper, ensuring comfort without compromise.

Smart Climate Control at Your Fingertips

Modern living demands convenience, and the Roommate delivers with its compatibility with the Smart Life app. Available for Android and Apple devices, the app allows users to monitor and control the system remotely. Whether you’re adjusting the temperature, setting the fan speed, or turning the unit on or off, the app provides seamless control from anywhere.

This level of connectivity not only enhances convenience but also enables optimized energy usage. For instance, you can pre-cool or pre-heat your home before arriving, reducing energy waste and lowering your utility bills.

Eco-Friendly Innovation

In today’s world, sustainability is more than a trend—it’s a necessity. The Roommate is an environmentally responsible choice, thanks to its use of R32 refrigerant. This next-generation refrigerant has zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) and a low global warming potential (GWP) of 675, making it compliant with AIM Act regulations and ideal for eco-conscious homeowners.

Additionally, the factory-sealed design eliminates the need for refrigerant handling during installation. By arriving pre-charged and ready to install, the Roommate minimizes the risk of leaks and reduces the environmental impact associated with traditional HVAC setups.

Versatility for Every Space

Whether you’re working on a single-family home, a multi-family complex, or a commercial project, the Roommate’s compact design and flexible installation make it suitable for virtually any application. Its minimal clearance requirements and paintable exterior ensure that it blends seamlessly into any space.

For projects with strict aesthetic regulations, such as historic buildings or urban developments, the RMM-3 preserves the exterior appearance of the property while delivering powerful indoor climate control. It’s also an excellent choice for upgrading three-season rooms, retrofitting older homes, or providing efficient HVAC solutions in areas with limited outdoor space.

Features Tailored for Modern Living

The Roommate is packed with features that cater to contemporary needs:

  • Wide Capacity Range: With a capacity of 1,000–12,000 BTU/h, the RMM-3 is perfect for spaces of varying sizes.

The combination of plug-and-play installation, smart energy usage, and low-maintenance design translates into significant cost savings over time. Unlike traditional HVAC systems that require professional installation and regular servicing, the Roommate is a hassle-free option that minimizes upfront and operational expenses.

Its energy-efficient design and use of advanced components ensure that you’re not just saving money—you’re also reducing your carbon footprint. For property owners looking to meet decarbonization goals, the Roommate is an excellent step toward sustainable living.
