What we do
Harvest Thermal provides affordable and low carbon heating, hot water and cooling systems that reduce our impact on the planet while providing superior comfort, healthier and safer homes. The Harvest Thermal Pod is a cloud connected IoT device that is machine learning enabled. The Harvest Thermal is the most efficient electrified hot water and heating system on the market.
Company's story
Our Specialty
The Heat Pump
Our hyper-efficient heat pump harvests electricity when it’s cheapest and cleanest (see what we did there?). It pulls warmth out of the air, even when it’s cold out.
The Tank
A very-insulated water tank holds just the right amount of heat until you need it - as hot water, or as warmth for your home. Temperatures inside the tank are continuously monitored and controlled. Easier said than done.
The Pod
The Pod tells everything else in the system what to do, and when to do it. All based on real-time data - temperature, rates, emissions…and if friends are staying over, the Pod adjusts for more showers on the fly.
The Air Handler
Hot water safely runs to hydronic coils inside the air handler. A super-efficient fan blows air across the hot coils and, ta-da!, your home is warmed. As are you.
The Air Handler works in homes with forced air. But if you use radiant floors, we’ve got you covered too.

Our story
ane and Pierre are two engineers. They happen to be married, and they happen to care about the future.
Because they’re energy nerds, they knew that two-thirds of home energy use is for heating and hot water.
It’s a statistic a lot of people don’t know about. One of those stats that makes it pretty hard to enjoy the warmth of a gas-heated home.
o when their old gas furnace died, Jane and Pierre decided to take a crack at building a better system from the ground up - and use their own home as a test site.
Like a lot of people who care about the future, Jane and Pierre had solar panels* on their roof. Heat pumps were an option - a lot better than gas - but they tended to make poor use of that cheap, clean energy they were generating every day.
* You don't need solar for Harvest. But it's always nice.
hey wanted to time-shift that cheap, clean energy to the corners of the day, when people use heat and hot water the most. Instead of storing energy in an expensive battery, they found a better time machine: a water tank.
Ideas turned into tinkering, tinkering turned into soldering. Their architect friend Dan Johnson joined the team, and Harvest was born.
With engineering wizard Evan Green leading the charge at the workbench and at the factory, the Harvest Pod® was born. The team grew slowly but surely as it worked (and worked, and worked) to turn this simple idea – storing cheap, clean energy in a hot water tank – into a factory-assembled system that’s reliable and easy to install.
Harvest got comfier, more reliable, and flexible. Fast-forward a few years, and their smart thermal battery system is all grown up.
Harvest has won lots of awards from places that matter. It’s been cutting bills and emissions and keeping people company throughout the West Coast for years. And now, Harvest is ready to move in with you.
