The article doesn’t go into it, but a key advantage they have is that heat pumps move heat, rather then trying to generate it. So they can move a lot more heat into your house than would be generated by running the electricity they use through a resistor. This makes them effectively more than 100% efficient (the exact amount depends on temperature) as compared with burning a fuel or resistive heat.
Cool yeah, uh I’ll do that as soon as I have a bunch of that money stuff.
Obligatory Technology Connections (@TechConnectify@mas.to):
Old HVAC industry practices are holding us back and costing us money. But we can fix it.
TL;DW (but you really should, it’s a great video): “Recommended” heat pumps are often oversized and overpriced compared to what is actually needed, and homeowners need to be aware of this.
Same with Solar Panels, Home Battery Storage system, and honestly just completely redone insulation along the perimeter and siding.
You know what, on second thought, I would rather just move tf out of this place.
