THE Slope 120 V window heat pump all time I saw at These 2025 blowing a crisp and fresh air on the floor of the Las Vegas Convention Center, sitting on a fortune window on a stand shared with other domestic electrification companies Biolite and copper.
It’s not your father window air conditioner. This old thing could not keep you warm at all, even less when it is below zero outside. This is why the heat pump for the large degraded window is so much larger – and more expensive.

Rather than sit inside the window and take all the space, like most window units, the gradient unit rides the bottom of the window, with the exterior and interior units hanging below , like the legs of a horseman on horseback swinging with the saddle.

A powerful heat pump for small spaces
The all -time model has been designed to increase the heating performance of the main model of the gradient for moderate climates. The moderate climate model can keep a house warm when the mercury outside falls at 40 degrees Fahrenheit. The all -time model, built to meet the needs of the New York City Housing Authority, is assessed at the weather within 13 degrees.
The gradient heat pump can heat and cool up to 500 square feet, with 9,300 BTU cooling power and up to 9,000 BTU for heating. But perhaps the coolest part is that this large device (it weighs 140 pounds) can flow a standard socket of 120 volts – no necessary electrical work. A gradient representative told CNET by e-mail that you will not need to hire a professional to help install it. The heat pump of the 120 V window any time can be installed by yourself.
Mist, Wi-Fi and more benefits of heat pump
The unit has clever features. The external unit has a diffuser which transforms any condensate into a mist, which means that no water gathers below or flows on the ground below. Heat pumps are activated by Wi-Fi and can be checked from the application or from a touch thermostat on the indoor unit.
The heat pump does not block the view from the window either. Because it is suspended below, you can always open and close the window, see outside and use the top of the heat pump as a small table surface.
Until now, gradient heat pumps have been mainly available only for specific buyers – namely the New York City Housing Authority. But the representatives of the company told me that commercial customers could buy directly from Gradient. Some units have been made available to individual consumers through an entrepreneur in the New York region, but these quantities were very limited and the company sold mainly to businesses. A degraded representative said that the company considers that it is the fastest way to extend electrification, and this means that you may see these heat pumps in businesses, schools or multifamilial housing.
The all -time model has a PDSF of $ 3,800 – much more than your typical AC window, but for something with much more capabilities. And because it does not require any permit, drive or electric work, expect the installation cost to be much smaller than other ways to heat and cool your home.
Correction, January 29: Updated to clarify that direct sales to consumers are limited to an entrepreneur.
