Questions.
Answers.

Everything we've been asked at intake calls, HOA meetings, and site walks. If a question isn't here, write us at pilots@cloudboiler.energy — we add questions as they land.

Q.01 What exactly is CloudBoiler™?
A hybrid appliance combining a heat-pump water heater with a GPU-powered compute engine. It heats your water using both compute waste heat and a high-efficiency HPWH.
Q.02 Is it safe?
Yes. CloudBoiler™ uses independent controllers for compute and thermal safety. If any fault occurs, compute shuts down while the heat pump continues normal operation.
Q.03 How much compute power does it have?
Depending on model, 1–4 GPUs or accelerators — equivalent to a small data-center node.
Q.04 Will it replace my water heater?
Yes. CloudBoiler™ is a full HPWH appliance capable of meeting all DHW needs.
Q.05 Do I get paid for running compute?
You may earn credits or revenue through compute-sharing networks, rendering pools, or cloud-load marketplaces. Or you can use the compute entirely for personal local AI.
Q.06 What happens if the internet is down?
Local AI inference continues. CloudBoiler™ stores thermal energy and performs all safety operations offline.
Q.07 Do utilities support this?
Yes — CloudBoiler™ aligns with electrification, thermal storage, grid flexibility, and distributed energy resource (DER) goals.
Q.08 What is the lifespan?
Similar to HPWH units (10–15 years), with field-replaceable compute modules ensuring longevity.
Q.09 What does installation require?
A standard HPWH installation footprint plus one dedicated 240V circuit for compute (or shared depending on load). Most HVAC/plumbing techs can service it.
Q.10 Does it really reduce energy use?
Yes. Compute heat is harvested instead of wasted, reducing water-heating load and providing free thermal energy whenever workloads are active.
Still a question?

Fifteen minutes with a thermal engineer.

If the FAQ didn't answer it, the intake call will. Same engineer who walks your block; no sales rep in the middle.
