What is the difference between the Mono and the Alpha?
The Alpha is our first generation product. It was designed for multi-family buildings. Although the Alpha can work in both multi-family and single-family buildings, the Mono is specifically designed for single-family homes and condos. The Mono has a refined industrial design, higher efficiency, and a suite of software features that are designed to improve comfort & savings for homeowners.
Can I purchase an Alpha if I need a heat pump before the Mono is available?
Yes! We are opening up installation availability for the Alpha in the Bay Area starting in July 2026. Schedule your site visit today or email us at info@merinoenergy.com today.
