“Heat pumps just keep getting hotter. The über-efficient, emissions-free appliance looks almost certain to have outsold gas furnaces in 2024 — and by a bigger margin than ever.” ⚡️🙌🏻🔌💡https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/heat-pumps/heat-pumps-keep-widening-their-lead-on-gas-furnaces

slightly daft cartoon à propos, vaguely, of the time of year

PSA for people in the US: On January 1, no more residential heat pumps may be sold that use R410-A refrigerant. So some contractors may be out of stock and have higher prices OR you may find an installer who is overstocked and will give you an incredible deal. Call around for multiple quotes!

Thankful for thermodynamics.

What if we… just gave everyone a heat pump?

TL;DR: heat exchange performance over fashion. Heat exchangers have mostly been designed with light colored metals so they get less hot, making it easier to reject heat in the summer. As more ACs become heat pumps the cold climate ones will use dark colors for better winter performance.

Why aren't there more colors to choose from?

Trick question! A life with climate change is a harder life, no matter what trade or profession you do.

How do I get back to an easier life fitting gas boilers? 😊

No way to say with that limited information but in Denver you are in luck! GoElectric Colorado (covered in this episode heatpump.review/podcast-003-... ) can help you sort it out for free.

What are your heat pump questions? Can be technical, industry or policy related. I will try to answer them or find the experts on Bluesky who can.

Our first starter pack: green building design professionals who we know and trust. Please do suggest more folk to us, but note that we're trying to take care to only include people whose work has impressed us. go.bsky.app/LzGqBtA

Looks like Daikin/Goodman/Amana is still on track to get their Residential AC/Heat Pumps switched over to the lower GWP R32 by the Jan 1 deadline. Only one model/line looks like it will be far behind schedule.

Yes. And well designed software for heat pumps is required to make participation in VPPs go from something that lasts only hours a year in traditional utility run programs to something happening all year.

Decarbonising domestic homes with low-carbon alternatives like heat pumps will be essential to get to net zero - but will require a greater supply of electricity. Our trial shows that automated heat pump flexibility could play a positive role in managing the future energy system.

I always thought that industry had limited electrification potential. How wrong I was: Once we looked into it in more detail we found that the potential for industrial electrification is huge. 90% of industrial process heat could be electrified in Europe by 2035.

Because we are very 1337 DNS managers, we are how happily at @heatpump.review

Of course this will keep happening. And long term: On site solar + storage + heat pumps will replace many heat processes with crazy savings.
