Overview

Gradient is a pioneering brand in the HVAC industry that is pushing towards zero carbon emissions. Their flagship product, the Gradient Comfort AC, is the first of its kind and utilizes the next generation refrigerant, R32, which has a significantly lower environmental impact. This innovative hybrid cooling and heating system is designed to provide both comfort and sustainability. With a mission to Cool the World, Gradient aims to create a healthier and more comfortable environment for all, without compromising on the planet's well-being. Unlike traditional air conditioners that rely on harmful hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants, Gradient uses R32, which efficiently carries heat and has a reduced environmental footprint. The sleek design of Gradient units seamlessly blends with any aesthetic, enhancing the view and minimizing noise by placing the louder components outside the window. This groundbreaking approach to cooling homes is a result of the dedication and expertise of Gradient's team of thermal scientists, designers, and engineers. Join Gradient in their mission to combat climate change and make a positive impact on the planet. Check out their open positions and be part of
