I wrote a buyers guide to cold climate heat pumps
Hi - The New England Subreddits really liked this, and asked me to share here, so: I've just installed my own heat pump and hit 100% fossil fuel free (really!).
Along the way, I found quotes were difficult to understand and sometimes misleading. So, I wrote the guide I wish I'd had to help homeowners be informed customers. I focus on questions like: "will it heat my house in the cold?", "Which of this feature-based marketing actually matters?", and "Why the heck do we measure performance by the ton?" ...Without getting in to the technicalities of thermodynamic cycles.
Hope you find this useful, and feedback is welcome.
