Lean into that. You’re currently a generic sales product. Focusing on a growing space, provided it doesn’t have an existing solution, will focus your team, product and pitch to both customers and investors.

A heat pump could win as the best HVAC technology, though a better drilling for ground-sourced ones. Just a shallow drilling (up to 100m) that works in retrofit mode, such as drilling from the basement, would be a great upgrade:

- No outdoor unit that looks awful in many settings

- works well, even in the coldest winter, without a spike in electricity usage, COP 5

- very reliable with long durability

- super quiet, no ambient noise

- 20% more efficient

Currently, drilling is very disruptive in retrofits, but there is progress in compact techniques that might change the equation.
