#ClimateDiary We are in intense #Heatpump vs new boiler discussions in our household at the moment, and it is quite something how geopolitics and radiators (and other practicalities like: will the humming be loud?) all swirl through my head at once.
(Our house is old, terraced and high ceilings - it looks like it’s not impossible but challenging. Costs come into it too, of course. Also worried on this front: might geopolitics mean i will not earn any money next few years?)
@pvonhellermannn we had this discussion as well.
Current heatpumps are much quieter than old ones.
We are getting an indoor version. It is the size of a fridge. Outdoors will just be the air ventilation.
I believe it will be as loud as a fridge.
Now our neighbours are fine with it.
(We are in an apartment building so had to ask hoa for permission)
There are also split heatpumps which will also reduce noise on the outside.
All the best for finding a good solution for your house!
