Heatbit is a consumer-friendly Bitcoin mining space heater that doubles as a home heater and air purifier. Prices range from $849 USD for the Trio (10 TH/s) to $1,499 USD for the Maxi Pro (60 TH/s). The devices are well-designed appliances that make Bitcoin mining accessible to non-technical users, but come at a significant price premium over purpose-built mining heaters. This review covers all current Heatbit models, real-world performance, and how they compare to D-Central’s Bitcoin Space Heaters on hashrate, value, and repairability.
What Is Heatbit?
Heatbit is a US-based company (registered in Delaware) that manufactures consumer Bitcoin mining heaters. Their pitch is straightforward: every electric heater converts 100% of its electricity into heat. So why not put an ASIC chip inside that heater, mine Bitcoin with that electricity, and get the heat as a byproduct? The physics are sound. The execution is what matters.
Founded with the goal of making Bitcoin mining invisible to the average consumer, Heatbit has positioned itself at the intersection of home appliance and cryptocurrency hardware. Their devices look like premium Dyson-style heaters, not mining rigs. That is very much by design. This is a product built for people who want to “set it and forget it” rather than SSH into their miner and flash custom firmware.
Heatbit has been certified to safety standards in both the US and Canada since 2022, which is a genuine positive. They are a real company selling real products, not vaporware.
Heatbit Models Compared (2026 Lineup)
As of early 2026, Heatbit offers three models. Here is a direct comparison:
| Specification | Heatbit Trio | Heatbit Maxi | Heatbit Maxi Pro |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price (USD) | $849 | $1,249 | $1,499 |
| Hashrate | ~10 TH/s | ~35-40 TH/s | ~60 TH/s |
| Mining Power | 400W | 1,500W | 1,500W |
| Total Power | 1,500W (400W mining + 1,100W resistive) | 1,500W (all mining) | 1,500W (all mining) |
| Heat Output | 5,120 BTU | 5,120 BTU | 5,120 BTU |
| Heating Area | Up to ~400 sq ft | Up to ~400 sq ft | Up to ~400 sq ft |
| Noise Level | ~40 dB | ~56 dB (low: ~40 dB) | ~56 dB (low: ~40 dB) |
| HEPA Air Filter | Yes (always-on) | Yes | Yes |
| App Control | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Availability | In stock | Shipping Feb 2026 | Preorder (Aug 2026) |
Key takeaway: The Trio only mines at 400W and fills the remaining 1,100W with a traditional resistive heating element. The Maxi and Maxi Pro use the full 1,500W for mining, which means every watt is doing double duty. If you are going to buy a Heatbit, the Maxi is the minimum you should consider for meaningful mining output.
How Heatbit Works
The core concept behind every Bitcoin mining heater is identical: ASIC chips perform SHA-256 computations, consume electricity, and produce heat. In a traditional mining farm, that heat is exhausted outdoors. In a mining heater, it is directed into your living space.
The Heatbit adds a consumer layer on top of this:
- Plug it into a standard wall outlet (standard 120V/15A in North America)
- Download the Heatbit app (iOS/Android)
- Connect to Wi-Fi and link a Bitcoin wallet
- Set your heating preferences and let it run
The app displays real-time hashrate, estimated earnings, temperature settings, and filter status. Mining rewards are pooled and paid out to your linked wallet. You cannot choose your own mining pool or run custom firmware. The device mines through Heatbit’s infrastructure, and that is a deliberate design choice for simplicity.
As a heater, the Heatbit performs like any 1,500W electric space heater. It produces approximately 5,120 BTU/hr, which is adequate for a single room up to about 400 square feet. The integrated HEPA filter is a genuine bonus, removing 99.97% of airborne particles including dust, pollen, and PM2.5.
What We Like About Heatbit
We believe in giving credit where it is due. Heatbit gets several things right:
Consumer-Grade Design
This is the Heatbit’s strongest advantage. The device looks like a premium home appliance, not a mining rig. Aviation-grade aluminum housing, clean lines, natural leather accents on the Maxi models. You could put this in a living room and guests would assume it is a high-end Dyson product. For people who care about home aesthetics, this matters.
True Plug-and-Play Setup
No Ethernet cables. No firmware flashing. No pool configuration. No command-line anything. Download the app, connect to Wi-Fi, link a wallet, and you are mining. For someone who has never touched mining hardware, this removes every barrier to entry.
HEPA Air Filtration
The integrated HEPA filter (HEPA 12/13 depending on model) is a genuine functional addition, not a marketing gimmick. It removes 99.7-99.97% of airborne pollutants. In cities with poor air quality or homes with allergy sufferers, this dual functionality adds real value. Most competing mining heaters (including ours) do not offer air filtration.
App-Controlled Experience
The mobile app provides real-time monitoring of hashrate, earnings, temperature, and filter life. You can adjust heating settings remotely, schedule operating times, and track cumulative Bitcoin earned. It is polished and well-designed.
Safety Certified
Heatbit devices are certified to US and Canadian safety standards, which is non-trivial for a product that combines cryptocurrency mining hardware with a consumer heating appliance. This certification gives buyers legitimate peace of mind.
Mainstream Appeal
Heatbit has done something genuinely difficult: made Bitcoin mining approachable for people who do not consider themselves technical. If you have a family member who is Bitcoin-curious but would never configure an Antminer, the Heatbit is a realistic gift or entry point.
Our Concerns About Heatbit
Every honest review must address the trade-offs. Here is where the Heatbit falls short for serious miners:
Hash-Per-Dollar Value
This is the most significant concern. Let us do the math:
- Heatbit Trio: 10 TH/s for $849 = $84.90 per TH/s
- Heatbit Maxi: ~37.5 TH/s for $1,249 = $33.31 per TH/s
- Heatbit Maxi Pro: 60 TH/s for $1,499 = $24.98 per TH/s
- D-Central S9 Space Heater: ~10 TH/s for ~$235 CAD (~$170 USD) = $17.00 per TH/s
- D-Central S19 Space Heater: ~56 TH/s for ~$755 CAD (~$545 USD) = $9.73 per TH/s
Even the Maxi Pro, Heatbit’s best value option, costs 2.5x more per terahash than a D-Central S19 Space Heater. The Trio is nearly 5x more expensive per terahash than a D-Central S9 Space Heater Edition. You are paying a massive premium for the industrial design, app integration, and consumer packaging.
Closed Ecosystem
You cannot change the mining pool. You cannot flash custom firmware like BraiinsOS+. You cannot adjust individual chip voltages or frequencies. You cannot integrate with Home Assistant or your own monitoring stack. The Heatbit mines through Heatbit’s pool, on Heatbit’s terms.
For a non-technical user, this is a feature. For anyone who values Bitcoin’s decentralization ethos, this is a significant concern. The entire point of home mining is to distribute hashrate away from centralized pools. Mining through a manufacturer-controlled pool does not accomplish that.
Repairability Is a Question Mark
If the ASIC chip inside a Heatbit fails, what happens? With an Antminer-based space heater, you can send the hashboard to any ASIC repair shop for component-level repair. Replacement hashboards, control boards, and individual ASIC chips are widely available. The repair ecosystem for Bitmain hardware is mature and global.
Heatbit uses proprietary hardware in a sealed consumer enclosure. If the mining component fails after warranty, your options are limited to whatever Heatbit offers. There is no third-party repair ecosystem for Heatbit devices. At worst, a failed ASIC turns your $1,499 miner into a $1,499 space heater that no longer mines.
Replacement Filter Costs
The HEPA air filter needs periodic replacement. Replacement filters cost approximately $28 each. While not exorbitant, this is a recurring cost that adds up over years of operation and erodes the already-modest mining revenue. Some customer reviews have flagged filter pricing as a concern.
Warranty Concerns
Multiple customer reviews mention that Heatbit’s warranty is voided if you discard the original packaging. If you need to send the unit in for repair, you must ship it in the original box. This is an unusual policy that catches buyers off guard, as most people discard packaging within weeks of purchase.
Delivery Timelines
Some early customers reported waiting over a year for delivery. While the Trio appears to ship promptly now, the Maxi Pro is currently on preorder with an estimated delivery of August 2026. Mining difficulty does not wait for your hardware to ship. Every month of delay reduces the effective return on your investment.
Heatbit vs D-Central Bitcoin Space Heaters: Honest Comparison
We sell Bitcoin Space Heaters, so we have an obvious bias. We are going to be transparent about it and let the specs speak. Both approaches to mining-as-heating are legitimate. They serve different audiences.
| Feature | Heatbit Trio | Heatbit Maxi Pro | D-Central S9 Heater | D-Central S19 Heater |

Where Heatbit Wins
- Design and aesthetics: No contest. The Heatbit looks like a premium appliance. D-Central’s space heaters look like mining hardware in a custom case, because that is exactly what they are.
- Ease of setup: App-based setup vs. configuring BraiinsOS+ through a web interface. Both are manageable, but Heatbit is simpler for complete beginners.
- Air filtration: The HEPA filter is a genuine feature that D-Central’s heaters do not offer.
- No configuration required: Zero technical knowledge needed. It just works.
Where D-Central Wins
- Hashrate per dollar: 2.5x to 5x more hash for your money. This is the most important metric for anyone who cares about mining returns.
- Repairability: Antminer-based heaters use industry-standard components. Hashboards, control boards, fans, and PSUs are all replaceable. D-Central’s own repair team services these units, and any competent ASIC repair shop worldwide can work on them.
- Open firmware: BraiinsOS+ allows you to fine-tune power consumption, set temperature targets, auto-tune chip performance, and integrate with Home Assistant for whole-home automation.
- Pool freedom: Mine on any pool you choose. Support decentralization by pointing your hash at smaller pools. This is the cypherpunk way.
- Scalable heat output: The S19 Space Heater on 240V can output over 11,000 BTU/hr, more than double the Heatbit’s maximum. For heating larger spaces, more hashrate and more heat from a single unit.
- Proven hardware: Antminer S9s and S19s have been running in mining operations worldwide for years. Their failure modes are well-documented, parts are widely available, and the repair community is massive.
Who Should Buy a Heatbit?
The Heatbit is the right choice for a specific type of buyer:
- Bitcoin-curious individuals who want exposure to mining without any learning curve
- Design-conscious homeowners who want their heater to look like a premium appliance, not a piece of industrial equipment
- Non-technical users who want zero configuration, zero maintenance (beyond filter changes), and zero troubleshooting
- Gift buyers looking for a conversation-piece that introduces someone to Bitcoin mining
- Apartment dwellers who need a quiet, attractive unit that blends with furniture
- People who value air filtration and want a heater-miner-purifier combo
If this describes you, the Heatbit Maxi (not the Trio) is probably the right call. The Trio’s 400W of mining power at $849 is difficult to justify economically.
Who Should Buy a D-Central Bitcoin Space Heater?
Our Bitcoin Space Heaters are built for a different mindset:
- Serious home miners who want maximum hashrate for their money
- Bitcoin maximalists who care about mining pool decentralization and running their own infrastructure
- Tinkerers and hackers who want to customize firmware, adjust power profiles, and integrate with Home Assistant
- Value-oriented buyers who prioritize function over form
- Canadian miners looking to support a Canadian company and avoid cross-border shipping complications
- Anyone who wants repairability because they plan to run their heater for many years and want the ability to service it
- Homeowners with 240V circuits who want to unlock the full power of an S19 (95 TH/s, 11,000+ BTU/hr)
- DIY enthusiasts who already own an Antminer and want to convert it into a space heater themselves
If you identify with this list, you are our people. Welcome to the Mining Hackers.
The Mining Profitability Question
Every Bitcoin mining heater review needs to address the elephant in the room: is it actually profitable?
Here is the honest answer: during heating season, the electricity cost is a sunk cost you would pay anyway to heat your home. Whether you burn that electricity in a resistive space heater or an ASIC miner, the same number of BTUs enter your room. The difference is that the ASIC miner also produces Bitcoin.
At current network difficulty and Bitcoin prices, mining revenue from a 10 TH/s device (Heatbit Trio or D-Central S9) is modest. We are talking about dollars per month, not hundreds. The Maxi Pro at 60 TH/s will generate more, but it will not pay for itself in a single heating season.
The real value proposition is this: you need heat anyway. The Bitcoin you earn is a bonus, not a primary revenue stream. If Bitcoin appreciates significantly over the coming years, those small daily accumulations could become meaningful. This is a long-term, low-time-preference approach, which aligns perfectly with Bitcoin’s own philosophy.
Heatbit estimates the Maxi can earn approximately $300 per heating season, and the Maxi Pro approximately $420. These numbers are reasonable at current conditions but will fluctuate with network difficulty and BTC price.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Heatbit a scam?
No. Heatbit is a legitimate, registered company with US and Canadian safety certifications. They manufacture and ship real products. Their Trustpilot reviews are generally positive, with the majority of complaints relating to delivery timelines rather than product quality. The physics behind their product (ASIC mining produces heat, which can warm a room) is sound engineering.
How much Bitcoin can a Heatbit mine per day?
At current network difficulty and Bitcoin price (early 2026), the Heatbit Trio (~10 TH/s) earns roughly a few hundred satoshis per day. The Maxi Pro (~60 TH/s) earns more. Exact earnings fluctuate daily with network difficulty and BTC price. Heatbit estimates seasonal earnings of $300 (Maxi) to $420 (Maxi Pro) during a typical heating season. Do not buy a Heatbit expecting to get rich. Buy it as a heater that happens to stack sats.
Is the Heatbit loud?
The Heatbit Trio operates at approximately 40 dB, which is similar to a quiet library. The Maxi and Maxi Pro reach up to 56 dB at full power, comparable to a normal conversation or a window air conditioner. At lower settings, noise drops to around 40 dB. These are reasonable noise levels for a living space. By comparison, an unmodified Antminer S9 runs at 75-85 dB (like a lawn mower). D-Central’s modified space heaters with silent fans operate at 35-55 dB, comparable to the Heatbit range.
Can I use a Heatbit in the summer?
Technically yes, but practically it makes little sense. The device produces 5,120 BTU of heat regardless of whether you want it. Running a heater during summer means adding 1,500W of heat to a space you are likely already cooling with air conditioning. Some users run their Heatbit year-round for the air filtration and mining, but this is only viable if you can exhaust the heat outdoors or into a space that can absorb it.
How does the Heatbit compare to buying Bitcoin directly?
If your only goal is to acquire Bitcoin, buying it directly on an exchange is more cost-effective. The Heatbit makes sense only when you account for the heating value. During months when you would otherwise pay for electric heating, the electricity cost is a wash. The Bitcoin earned is the marginal benefit. Outside of heating season, buying BTC directly wins on pure economics.
Can I repair a Heatbit myself?
Heatbit devices are consumer-sealed appliances, not designed for user servicing beyond filter replacement. If the ASIC mining component fails, you will need to work with Heatbit’s customer support. There is currently no third-party repair ecosystem for Heatbit-specific hardware. This is a fundamental difference from Antminer-based heaters, where components are standardized and any ASIC repair technician can service the unit.
Verdict: Is the Heatbit Worth It?
The Heatbit is a well-engineered consumer product that makes Bitcoin mining genuinely accessible. If you value beautiful design, effortless setup, and integrated air purification, and you are willing to pay a premium for those qualities, the Heatbit Maxi or Maxi Pro is a reasonable purchase.
But if you are reading a mining blog and comparing hashrates per dollar, you are probably not the target audience for a Heatbit. You are someone who cares about maximizing value, customizing your setup, choosing your own pool, and having the ability to repair your equipment. You are a Mining Hacker.
Both approaches are valid. Both convert electricity into heat plus Bitcoin. The Heatbit makes it pretty and effortless. D-Central’s space heaters make it powerful and sovereign.
Our recommendation:
- For your Bitcoin-curious friend who has never mined: Heatbit Maxi
- For you, the person comparing hashrate tables at midnight: D-Central Bitcoin Space Heater
The idea of heating your home while mining Bitcoin is not a gimmick. It is sound thermodynamics and sound economics. The only question is how you want to do it. Choose the approach that matches your values, your technical comfort level, and your budget.
