FTR, we've just been through our first winter with our heat pumps. Our house was constructed in the 1950s, so I guess you'd call it old. The heat pumps did a great job of keeping us warm, even in the depths of winter. We have a relative in his 90s living with us now, and so we heat most of the house like an old people's home, and the #HeatPumps never buckled.

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.

Your neighbours love their heat pumps

A survey conducted for Clean Energy Canada found the top three reasons people chose a heat pump were lower energy bills, air conditioning or other comfort benefits and benefits for the environment.

European residential heat pump sales increased in 2025

Analysis across 16 European countries finds an around 240,000 increase in the number of residential heat pump sales year-on-year. The European Heat Pump Association attributes the upward trend to governments stabilizing subsidy schemes.

I could've sworn I had a good chat on here about HVAC contractors conversant with heat pumps in upstate NY (specifically Capital District, super specifically Niskayuna) but I can't find it for the life of me. Holler if you have one that's been great in that neck of the woods. #energysky #heatpumps
