Vancouver’s Jetson Home Adds a Heat Pump Water Heater and an EV Charger to Its Connected Home Lineup

Vancouver-born startup Jetson Home has added two new products to its lineup, and together they tell a clear story about where the company is headed. The firm has launched Jetson Water, a heat pump water heater, and Jetson Charge, a Level 2 electric vehicle charger. Both products were unveiled this week, according to a report by Techcouver published on October 27, 2026, and both join Jetson Air, the company’s heating and cooling system. The result is a home setup in which heating, hot water, and car charging can be managed as one connected system rather than three separate purchases.

Jetson is still a young company. It was founded in 2024 and sells heat pump technology directly to homeowners, using what it describes as a vertically integrated approach. That means the company controls more of the chain from product to installation than a traditional manufacturer that relies on a long line of distributors. Its heat pump work has already drawn attention, with the technology named one of the World’s Best Inventions. The new launches build on that base, and they arrive as the company expands in the United States, including a move into California over the summer that followed a launch in New York.

What Jetson Water does

Jetson Water is a heat pump water heater, which works differently from a conventional electric tank. Instead of generating heat directly with an electric element, a heat pump moves heat from the surrounding air into the water. According to Jetson, the system uses about 75 percent less energy than a conventional electric tank. That is a striking claim, and it matters for a simple reason: water heating is one of the largest energy loads in a typical home, so a big efficiency gain there can show up on a household bill in a way that smaller gadgets never will.

The product can also be controlled through the Jetson app. That detail sounds small, but it fits the company’s wider pitch. A water heater that can be monitored and adjusted from a phone is easier to live with than one hidden in a basement and forgotten until something goes wrong. It also lets a homeowner see how the system fits into the rest of the home’s energy use, which is the thread that ties the new products together.

What Jetson Charge adds

Jetson Charge is a Level 2 EV charger, the faster home charging option that most electric vehicle owners install when they want overnight charging to feel effortless. What sets it apart in Jetson’s telling is whole-home energy tracking. The charger adjusts charging speeds based on household demand levels, so charging a car does not have to compete blindly with a heat pump, a water heater, and everything else running at the same time.

That kind of coordination is becoming more useful as homes add more electric loads. A heat pump, an EV, and an electric water heater can each draw serious power. Managed separately, they can strain a home’s electrical capacity or push usage into expensive periods. Managed together, they can be sequenced and balanced. Jetson is betting that homeowners will prefer a single system that handles those trade-offs quietly, rather than a collection of apps and settings that each need attention.

One system instead of three products

Water and Charge join Jetson Air, the company’s heating and cooling system. Put together, a homeowner can now run heating, cooling, hot water, and EV charging through Jetson’s platform. The company frames this as a connected, intelligent system, and the appeal is easy to understand. Instead of learning three interfaces and wondering how each device affects the others, the homeowner gets one picture of home energy.

Jetson chief executive Stephen Lake put it in plain terms in the Techcouver report. He said most people do not think about their homes as a collection of energy systems, adding that they want hot water, a comfortable home, and a car that is ready to go. He said the company’s job is to make the equipment behind all of that more efficient and easier to live with, and to give homeowners a clear picture of how their home uses energy. Lake later described Water and Charge as the next step toward a connected home.

Why the timing matters

The launches also arrive during a busy period for home energy in Canada and the United States. Heat pumps have moved from a niche product to a mainstream conversation, driven by energy costs, climate policy, and a wave of new products. Electric vehicles are now common enough that home charging is a normal household decision, not an early adopter hobby. A company that can serve both trends from one platform has a natural story to tell.

Jetson’s expansion into the United States adds another layer. The company has been growing south of the border following a substantial round of fundraising, and Techcouver noted that California alone has a population roughly equal to all of Canada. That scale changes the stakes. A product lineup that works in Vancouver also has to work in very different climates, housing types, and electricity markets. The connected home pitch will be tested by that variety, and by how well the app and the hardware hold up when installed at scale.

For Canadian readers, the story is also a local one. Vancouver has produced a steady stream of clean technology companies, and Jetson is now trying to turn a single well-regarded product into a full home platform. The next test will be installation quality, real world energy savings, and support when something breaks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What did Jetson Home just launch?

Jetson Home launched Jetson Water, a heat pump water heater, and Jetson Charge, a Level 2 EV charger. Both products join Jetson Air, the company’s heating and cooling system, so heating, hot water, and EV charging can run as one connected setup.

How does Jetson Water save energy?

Jetson Water is a heat pump water heater, which moves heat from the surrounding air into the water instead of generating all of its heat with an electric element. According to Jetson, it uses about 75 percent less energy than a conventional electric tank, and it can be controlled through the Jetson app.

What makes Jetson Charge different from a standard home EV charger?

Jetson Charge is a Level 2 EV charger with whole-home energy tracking. It adjusts charging speeds based on household demand, so EV charging can be balanced against heating, water heating, and other loads instead of competing with them for power.
