Monthly payments bundle installation, annual service, and extended warranty to unlock cleaner, cheaper home comfort as low as $117/room/month

CHARLOTTE, N.C. and REDWOOD CITY, Calif., May 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Quilt, the smartest way to heat and cool your home, today announced a partnership with Palmetto, America’s leading consumer energy platform, to remove the biggest barrier to home electrification: high upfront costs. The Palmetto Comfort Plan is now available to all Quilt Certified Partners’ customers, covering installation, maintenance, annual service and extended warranty with a single predictable monthly payment.

Households need affordable, accessible pathways to cleaner, cheaper comfort. Average U.S. household energy costs are up roughly 5% year-over-year, and heat pumps can cut heating and cooling costs by 30–50% compared with traditional HVAC. Additionally, the U.S. Energy Information Administration projects electricity consumption could rise nearly 40% by 2050, underscoring the need for efficient, electric solutions.

“We designed Quilt to make electric heating and cooling simple, sleek, and genuinely efficient,” said Paul Lambert, Co-founder and CEO, Quilt. “But great products don’t help if homeowners can’t afford the switch. Partnering with Palmetto changes that. One monthly plan covers everything from installation to annual maintenance, so the decision to upgrade your home is finally an easy one. That’s how you turn interest into action.”

As a ductless, all–electric heat pump system with room–by–room temperature control, smart occupancy detection and scheduling, an integrated app for energy reporting and remote control, Quilt units are 20% more efficient than typical ductless heat pumps and up to four times more efficient than gas furnaces. Quilt is currently available in 34 U.S. states and continues expanding coverage every week. The Palmetto Comfort Plan will be offered to Quilt Certified Partners where both companies operate.

“This partnership represents exactly what we set out to do at Palmetto: remove barriers to clean energy adoption,” said Chris Kemper, Founder and CEO of Palmetto. “Heat pumps are one of the most impactful upgrades a homeowner can make, but affordability has been a challenge. By bundling installation, maintenance, and warranty into Quilt’s monthly payment plan, we’re making this proven technology accessible to American homeowners everywhere.”
