Former Apple Engineer Creates Innovative Heat Pumps to Make Homes Greener and More Affordable Mary-Ann Rau, former AirPods engineer at Apple, is now tackling the challenge of making heat pumps more affordable and accessible. As the CEO of Merino Energy, she has designed a new heat pump, the Merino Mono, which is simpler to install and more cost-effective than traditional systems. While California aims to install 6 million heat pumps by 2030, current systems are too expensive and complex for many households. Merino's solution combines the indoor heat exchanger and outdoor condenser into a single unit, reducing installation complexity and making it suitable for a wider range of homes, including apartments. The Merino Mono costs $3,800 and can be installed in just one hour, compared to traditional systems that can cost upwards of $6,000. Merino is already in the process of installing heat pumps in low-income housing in California and plans to expand to other states. Rau’s goal is to simplify heat pump adoption to reduce energy costs and improve sustainability in homes across the country.

How market momentum and rising gas costs are reshaping what households pay for energy.

The heat pump market shift is durable. Heat pumps outsold gas furnaces for the fourth year in a row in 2025, and outsold air conditioners for the first time ever in September 2025.

Gas costs are rising even as gas use stalls. In 2025, gas bills rose 60% faster than electric bills and 4x faster than inflation.

States continue to advance building decarbonization policies. MN, MA, NY, CA, and other states are launching or considering new policies to accelerate their transitions to affordable, clean heat and cooling.
