The benefits of electrification compound…

The more a home electrifies the bigger the savings. Adding rooftop solar saves an Australian household $1,000s a year. Adding electric hot water saves $1,000s more. Adding a battery, an induction cooker, reverse cycle heating and removing gas saves $1,000s more. Adding an EV is the icing on the cake. Adding maintenance and servicing savings, total automotive savings can reach over $4,000 annually. If a household does this strategically, replacing old appliances as they wear out, the upfront […]

Lass dir keine Wärmepumpe aufschwatzen! Das kann teuer werden!

Guarantees #homeowners will pay at least twice as much for #energy as a electric #heatpump, and, no cooling from #natgas. Smart!

#UnpopularOpinion: #Europe should deploy air-con en masse, through reversible Air-to-Air #HeatPumps.

The increase in Energy use for cooling in the Summer will be largely compensated by the reduction in Energy use for #heating in the winter.

Top tip for anyone considering a #heatpump with underfloor heating: make sure your HP supports cooling mode. We've just arrived home from a weekend away and the house, or downstairs at least, is blissfully cool while it's 32° outside.

If you already have underfloor heating, check the manual as it might be supported. Our installer had no idea it was a thing, but all it took was a settings toggle and the addition of an automatic valve to isolate the upstairs radiators when it kicks in.

@BryanGreyson UK houses are built to retain heat not for cooling air flow :/ We need to start painting our roofs white and also more trees on the street will provide shade. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dfCG2jAr50

Also heat pumps are an energy efficient way to do air conditioning, TechnologyConnections on youtube has a good video about those

It's all done. Benefits include much improved water pressure and hugely more efficient radiators. We have a bit of painting to do and the equipment needs boxing in but that's all just cosmetic.

Ironic to have it ready to go just in time for the heatwave 🌞

Octopus were great to deal with and the whole thing took just three days. Look out for a proper report on our website in coming weeks.
