I think #HeatPump clothes dryers are a technology we need to embrace, due to them being more efficient and also not spewing a cloud of microplastics out the side of your house.

However, I really wish #Whirlpool had considered how people could clean lint out of the heat exchangers without taking the whole damn unit apart.

Heat pump sales to increase 10% this year, but growth falls short of potential – industry

I'm surprised. When I stand 3m from our two heat pumps and maybe 15m from the road, all I hear is rust noise: I can't hear the heat pumps at all.

Our heat pumps make no more noise than the oil-fired boiler they replaced.

There are legal limits on the amount of noise that #HeatPumps can make. If your neighbour's #HeatPump is unreasonably noisy then it may need servicing or repair.

#UK: "[..] from 2028, no new homes will be on the gas network - and will instead be on a heat network or get a #heatpump - and they must have #solar panels on their roofs [..]"

'"The #IranWar has once again shown our drive for clean power is essential for our #energy security so we can escape the grip of #fossilfuel markets we don't control," said Energy Secretary Ed Miliband'

Heat pumps for all new homes and plug-in solar in green tech drive

Solar panels that can be plugged in at home could be available to buy in supermarkets in the coming months.

conservative/fossil 'economics': "over a 19-year period, the running costs of a gas heating system in a typical flat [...] would be around €18,580 higher than those of a #heatpump. In a detached house, the costs would be even higher: [...] €23,746. 💸 www.t-online.de/heim-garten/...

Reiche arbeitet an neuem Heizungsgesetz: So viel kostet eine neue Gasheizung bis 2045

Die Novelle des Gebäudemodernisierungsgesetzes soll Eigentümern neue Freiheiten bei der Heizungswahl geben. Eine neue Studie zeigt die Kosten auf.

We recently had solar panels and a #HeatPump installed (by our landlord) at our house. So I am paying more attention to energy consumption for heating (just when we are probably reducing it)...
First step is to be visiting the Electricity Maps website https://app.electricitymaps.com/map/zone/NL/live/fifteen_minutes?signal=electricity-price
This can be somewhat addictive to revisit and then you notice weird things like the Netherlands apparently having more installed solar capacity than France. 1/2 #SolarPower #WindPower #GreenEnergy
