##HeatPump
I know that the prices charged for HVAC seem insane sometimes, but the more I've dug into what's behind those prices to have a well run and sustainable company, the less room there is for reducing them.

Yes, avoided a staggering €9.7 billion in import costs -- much of which would have been handed over to Russia for their use in crushing Ukraine! Every step away from fossil fuel makes the world better in multiple ways, as I see it. #heatpump #democracy

Heat pump question 🙋🏼‍♂️

I recently bought one but was told they can’t cover temps well below freezing so was encouraged to get a backup nat gas furnace (I’m in Toronto).

I’ve seen data showing wide heat pump adoption in cold countries so is there any truth to this?

Thank you #DonaldTrump - Residential #heatpump sales rose 34% in Germany and 21% in France in the first quarter, according to the European Heat Pump Association. In France — the largest market in Europe — sales reached more than 300,000 in that time. www.ft.com/content/571e... #ActOnClimate

The new federal Build Canada Homes program should require all new homes funded by the program be equipped with high efficiency heat pumps.

In other non-news, the heating has come on and house is toasty at 21C. It's 0.5C outside. Flow temperature is 30C. Electricity consumption 600W. Cost to run = 5p/hr (electricity bought overnight at 8/hr and stored in batteries. #heatpump #solarPV #batteries.

Three people just came to visit and see our #heatpump It was really satisfying to be able to answer their questions 🙂. Why not visit one near you? www.visitaheatpump.com

Saving Money with Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) in an old house

I wrote a while ago about a project to replace a 25yr old creaking gas boiler with an ASHP

#Heatpump sales have soared across Europe, cushioning households from the crippling costs of gas amid the war on Iran. Almost three million heat pumps were sold across 21 European countries last year - bringing the total stock to 29.3 million www.euronews.com/2026/06/22/e... #ActOnClimate
Heat pumps are saving Europe billions by lowering gas imports
A new analysis says that heat pumps avoided a staggering €9.7 billion in import costs alone last year.

“My #heatpump has completed its first full calendar year of operation. Electricity consumption is slightly less than a quarter of the gas consumption of previous years (in kWh). Old building from 1929, insulated in 2000, no underfloor heating. Running!”

- Prof Stefan @rahmstorf.bsky.social
Meine #Wärmepumpe hat ihr erstes volles Kalenderjahr Betrieb hinter sich. Stromverbrauch etwas weniger als ein Viertel des Gasverbrauchs voriger Jahre (jeweils in kWh). Altbau von 1929, im Jahr 2000 gedämmt, keine Fußbodenheizung. Läuft!

It's been between 2-10 degrees F for about 48 hours now, and our #HeatPump is performing well, keeping the house warm and comfortable. Don't let anyone tell you they don't work in cold weather.

Like #EVs, most critics and those who spread disinformation about EV, have never driven or owned one. Same can be said for those that disparage #Heatpump hot water systems, arguing they never get hot enough, don’t work in winter, I’m sure most have never lived with one. Mines hot enough

The laws of physics. A #heatpump is much more efficient than gas heating - Even a heat pump that runs entirely on electricity generated from gas would use only half the amount of gas. This shows just how pointless biogas heating systems would be #ActOnClimate #ClimateActionNow #Heatpumps

Heat pump diaries:
Seems some eejit (it was me!) Knocked off the heat pump yesterday evening by accident. It had dropped to 16.5’C by this morning on a night when it was -3’C outside! So the insulation is keeping us fairly toasty anyway.
