Sustainable HVAC (heating ventilation and air conditioning) and heat pump solutions provider Mitsubishi Electric and Irish tech company EVHACS have partnered to launch what they claim is the world’s first integrated heat pump and EV charger.
The collaboration merges Mitsubishi Electric’s heat pump and air conditioning systems with EVHACS’ patented EV charging technology - creating a single, compact unit capable of both heating and cooling spaces and charging EVs.
The integrated system is designed to allow homeowners, property developers, and commercial operators to simplify their infrastructure by combining two vital energy technologies in one. This results in reduced installation complexity, faster deployment, lower total system costs, and minimal impact on building aesthetics.
“This partnership marks a major leap forward in sustainable building technology,” said Ciaran Moody, president Mitsubishi Electric Ireland. “We are proud that our Irish team is at the forefront of this innovation—pioneering the future of smart, connected homes and businesses by combining two critical technologies into one intelligent system.”
Mitsubishi Electric says the integrated system enables maximum energy efficiency - offering a powerful, future-proof solution for the decarbonised buildings of tomorrow. By intelligently sharing available electrical capacity between heating, cooling and EV charging functions, the system helps prevent overload, avoids costly grid upgrades, and ensures optimal performance even during peak demand.
“Customers are looking for smarter, simpler ways to adopt low-carbon technologies,” Moody continued. “By partnering with EVHACS, we’re creating a solution that delivers on both convenience and sustainability. It’s a major leap forward in how we think about the connected home and workplace.”
The partners add that one of the most significant advantages of this integrated solution is its ability to dynamically balance electrical loads between the heat pump and the EV charger. This ensures the system never draws more power than the available supply can handle, helping to prevent overloads or the need for costly electrical panel or grid upgrades. It also supports participation in demand-side management and future smart grid applications.
EVHACS’ proprietary technology transforms Mitsubishi Electric’s award-winning heat pumps and air conditioning units into dual-purpose systems without compromising on performance or efficiency. The integration supports AC charging and is designed to work seamlessly within home energy management systems.
“This is about convergence,” said Jeff Aherne, CEO of EVHACS. “Our mission has always been to make clean energy technologies more accessible and practical. With Mitsubishi Electric, we’re making it easier than ever for people to decarbonise their homes, retail or commercial buildings, and vehicles—all in one step."
