broYeah. And I think it's a great idea.
If AECL wasn't a govcuck bunch of tax thieves they would have had this shit in production a long time ago, but nah, let's just keep trying to sell the 60 year old CANDU reactors.
Yup, wood stove is cheap.Electric resistance heat is 100% efficient; you get what you pay for. The beef is the cost of the electricity.
I'm not sure about your comparables... as far as btu-out vs electric-in. The wood/woodstove doesn't use anything electric unless you have a powered fan or electric chainsaw.
just soldered up some orifices and redrilled smaller for a hangy furnace going from NG to LP
my local unit is a BWR that has it's roots in the fucking 60's.
More importantly the Feds can't just shut it off because you wrote something mean about them on the FagBook.
it's not creating more energy than it's using, it's using energy to move energy rather than just applying it directly to create heat.
Doesn't matter, little bit at a time nobody will complain other than grumble about this, then just phase out carbon electricity because it doesn't even get used in the home, so nobody will think about it much.
That's half the point of owning one
The point is we should be shying away from electric resistance and and everything whenever possible.
Or rather the whole point. One system to handle warming and cooling.That's half the point of owning one
Calling people out about their EE and you don't even know how a heat pump works?
No, half the point. The other half is about paying less to heat your house.
The way you throw words around with no clue what they mean is funny
yeah ya'll got some scary shit going on during the protests
no, it isn't making heat, well it is making some heat but that's all inefficiency
The way you throw words around with no clue what they mean is funny
well fuck, around here it's totally common to have a separate A/C and furnaceThat's half the point of owning one
And in both cases the air is being warmed and the air is being heated
) the house just fine.
Cost would be the difference. Sure you could put two coils in the air handler and run two different heat pumps, but those fuckers are spensive!
And in both cases the air is being warmed and the air is being heated
Heat pumps do indeed put out lower temperature air than the typical gas or electric furnace, which is not my favorite feature. But they do it over longer periods of time, so it still heats (and warms
My least favorite feature is that they're fairly complex mechanical machines. They're expensive to buy and to keep running. I'm in the process of replacing mine which is dead
Right, because propane is so cheap (right now) lol
well, it wouldn't cost any more than two stupid simple A/C systems
as we've gone over, because they're using the wrong refrigerant for MN coldUh… around there, heat pumps are rare as hens teeth.
Valid point. In fact the reversing valve died on mine. I opted to have it replaced. I opted wrong
ain't so much efficiency dropping as they just stop working because the evaporator fills with liquid and resistive heat takes over
It's not just that. The colder it is, the less heat there is to extract from the air, and the more work (KWH) it takes.
