The problem

Most heat pumps end up wherever there was room for them: on a pad by the back door, bolted to the siding, or screened off behind a bit of lattice. They're loud, and you see them from the street.

Heatpump chimney

The chimney was once how a house exhausted dirty air into the atmosphere. A heat pump needs to exchange heat with the outdoors in much the same way. Its look is classical, and it happens to suit what a heat pump actually needs.

Aesthetics

Hidden on the roof ridge. Louvers conceal heat pump internals.

Performance

Sound disperses upward and away, so it carries less than a ground-mounted unit.

Vibration

Springs keep the unit's movement out of the framing.

Waterproofing

Monobody curb with integrated water dams. Single gasketed penetration.

Fit

Any unit size, any roof pitch, any brand. Powder coated to match.

In situ

Mockups of typical standing-seam installations.
