Our Technology
When you want to save money and the planet – Look to ThermoLift’s environmentally responsible comfort solutions.
Our planet has a problem. A BIG problem – Over 37.1B gigatons of CO2 are generated per year.
When you break that number down, building heating and cooling is responsible for ~20-25% of global emissions. And heating and air conditioning represent 50-75% of the average home’s energy cost*.
So, what's the answer?
We need a solution to help reduce the global carbon footprint and energy consumption from heating and air conditioning. Unfortunately, the heating and air conditioning market is dominated by older technology which is less than 100% efficient and still uses traditional compressors and toxic refrigerants.
Many organizations believe that Electric Heat Pumps represent a solution. Electric Heat Pumps are delivering improved efficiencies and performance as well as gaining popularity due to Federal and State tax incentives and rebates. And others promote high efficiency gas furnaces.
But electric heat pumps are not the answer in cold climates.

Traditional Electric Heat Pumps Lose Efficiency in Cold Weather
In cold and very cold North American climate zones where temperatures frequently drop below 0°F, the typical electric heat pump will lose about 20% of its capacity when temperatures dip to -10°F**.
So, just when you need maximum heating, the electric heat pump delivers less heating capacity.
Because of this efficiency loss, even though your electric heat pump is operating, the air coming from your heat pump may feel cool, or even cold and it may feel chilly in your home.
The Cold Zone is ThermoLift’s Comfort Zone
Compared to traditional heat pumps, the ThermoLift Hero’s superior performance distinguishes itself, particularly in below-freezing temperatures. Our patented Thermal Compression Climate Control maintains nearly constant capacity in ambient temperatures as low as -40°F with average heating efficiencies of 120% AFUE, making ThermoLift a perfect cold-cimate solution.
Further, with ThermoLift you can experience 30-50% savings in energy costs compared to your old system***
High Efficiency Gas Furnaces provide warmer heat than electric heat pumps but are less than 100% efficient.
Some common refrigerants in use today in heating and cooling systems include R410A and R22. These refrigerants have high global warming potential, so they are being replaced with R32 and R454B by 2025. But R32 and R454B still have considerable global warming potential.
A majority of refrigerants installed today are ~2,000x more harmful than CO2.
Refrigerants are responsible for >1 Gigaton, or ~2-3% of total annual carbon emissions.
ThermoLift has a Solution
ThermoLift is the industry’s only heating, cooling and hot water solution that is Zeroing in on Net Zero Carbon today. In fact, ThermoLift delivers a 30-50% carbon emission reduction compared to existing technology.
Say Hello to Helium, Our Hero
ThermoLift’s unique patented technology features Helium as the refrigerant. Helium is all natural, colorless and odorless. Helium has -0- Global Warming Potential, -0- Ozone Depletion Potential, -0- Flammability and -0-Toxicity. We all win with Zeros.
ThermoLift’s technology is helping win the race against carbon emissions and global warming with environmentally responsible heating, cooling and hot water products.
- Comfort Sourced from Nature
- Reduces Energy Costs
- Reduces Carbon Emissions
- Zero Toxicity
- Zero Ozone Depletion Potential
- Zero Global Warming Potential
- Zero Flammability
ThermoLift units deliver heating, cooling and hot water from 1 appliance – simultaneously.
Space heating and cooling is provided through a home’s existing HVAC system and ThermoLift units work with ducted, hydronic, ductless and radiant systems. Because ThermoLift units were designed to seamlessly integrate into the homes current system, they represent ideal replacement options for an existing boiler, gas furnace or heat pump.
Heat from your ThermoLift system simultaneously feeds the hot water tank whether the system is in heating or cooling mode. This unique cycle continuously provides heat to the hot water tank insuring on demand hot water.
- True cold weather heating
- Same comfort as traditional gas furnaces
- Simultaneous heating, hot water, and cooling
- Rated to operate down to -40⁰F
- Delivers up to 120% AFUE
- Variable operation is suitable to variations in heating and cooling demand
- The only non-toxic heating and cooling solution
So when you want to save money and the planet – Look to ThermoLift’s environmentally responsible comfort solutions.
