One of the world’s best inventions of 2025 is taking a bite out of the Big Apple.
In October, Vancouver-based home electrification company Jetson Home earned a spot on TIME Magazine’s list of the Best Inventions of 2025.
The Canadian firm was recognized for its breakthrough heat pump system, the Jetson Air, which addresses the barriers of high installation costs by using technology to assess projects remotely and completing installs in a single day.
“Jetson Air is bringing the same kind of innovation to your home’s heating and cooling that Tesla brought to your driveway—smart, electric, and built for the future,” Stephen Lake, co-founder and CEO of Jetson, remarked at the time. “Software is what unlocks real gains in efficiency, comfort, and control.”
Lake, who was last year named to the global TIME100 Climate list, is now bringing Jetson innovation to the U.S., where more than half of homes in New York are heated with natural gas or oil, presenting an opportunity for electrification.
Utilizing a former Tesla facility, Jetson has now opened an “operational base” in White Plains to serve the New York region.
“Our mission is to make clean, efficient home heating and cooling accessible to more households, and New York is a natural place to expand that work, given the state’s strong support for heat pump adoption,” noted Lake.
“With our White Plains hub, we can deliver our high-efficiency heat pump system directly to customers and support them locally as the state continues to move electrification forward,” the CEO stated.
Jetson’s vertically integrated model handles everything from assessment to installation, removing intermediaries and reducing upgrade costs by up to 50%. The platform includes a Jetson App for real-time energy tracking, air-quality monitoring, and maintenance alerts, while a subscription service called Jetson Care can add a 10-year warranty, 24/7 monitoring, and annual checkups.
