Hype for the Future 77K: Village of Oak Hill, Ohio

Introduction Though the Village of Oak Hill in Jackson County, Ohio, has a permanent population of under 1,500 residents, the community often appears to have a significantly larger personality for such a small town, containing the world’s largest acorn figure as well as a prominent sense of pride in the Welsh heritage associated with the region.

Of course, if my furnaces today used that design, I wouldn't be #ranting.

I have two #furnaces - at the time this home was built, it was the style here to put in two furnaces, one for the upstairs, and one for the main floor and basement. Kind of like a really #janky #zone system. I replaced both of them when I bought this #house.

Well, last #winter, the blower motor in one #died. It's kind of nice having two; the house was #chilly but #livable while I was getting it #fixed.

I'm going to have a bit of a #tech #rant (less charitable people might say #whine) here. If you just want jokes and cute bunny pictures, feel free to skip this one.

Object of my #ire this week? #Furnaces. I'm not even going to rant about their main control boards; most of that's been said better than I could say it, by others with more knowledge than I.

I'm ranting about #furnace #motors.

Ages ago, furnaces had one #motor in them, to spin the #blower that moves air through your house.

To #decarbonize the #housing sector, we need to go from 66 million fossil fuel #heatingsystems to zero over the next three decades.
In order to achieve this goal, we need to phase out 2.4 million #fossilfuel #furnaces every single year for the next 27 years. This is where the math gets a little scary.

America Needs To Install A Lot More Heat Pumps

In order to meet its climate goals, America needs to replace 2.4 million fossil fuel furnaces every year for the next 27 years.

Even in Vermont. “Even in cold weather, electric #heatpumps are more #energyefficient than the gas or oil #furnaces that heat many homes. Heat pumps don’t generate heat. They transfer it. That allows them to achieve more than 300 percent #efficiency in some cases. Because they are more #efficient, using heat pumps to cool and heat homes can help homeowners save money on their #utility bills.” https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/02/22/climate/heat-pumps-extreme-cold.html

As Heat Pumps Go Mainstream, a Big Question: Can They Handle Real Cold?

The devices are increasingly the target of misconception and, at times, misinformation. We’ve got the facts.
