I don't live in the family home anymore, but last winter when I did move back in for a while, I had approximately half as much work to do keeping the damn place warm, thanks to the heat pump. But I mean sure, I could also just buy one of those fancy newer automatic furnaces to replace the old furnace, and there'd be no work at all! Except that costs at least 5x as much as I paid for a single air to air heat pump that also makes summers bearable. All this for a relatively modest cost in terms of electricity because yo what the hell, heat pumps are more than 100% efficient when heating. It seems like we hacked physics, honestly. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MY_ANUS_IS_BLEEDING@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) My parents have a heat pump and they hate it. It can either provide hot water or heating, but not both at the same time. If someone has just had a shower then the heating switches off for hours while it refills the hot water tank. Bullshit in winter. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] boonhet@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago How big is their accumulation tank?
