Heat Pumps: Your Secret Weapon for Cozy Winters and Cool Summers
Hey there everyone, how are you today? Now, I know what you’re thinking – HVAC systems? That sounds about as exciting as watching paint dry. But hear me out, because heat pumps are no ordinary air conditioners. They’re like the Swiss Army knives of climate control, keeping you toasty in winter and refreshingly cool in summer, all while saving you money on your energy bills. Intrigued? Let’s break…

"Governor Janet Mills announced that Maine has, two years ahead of time, surpassed its goal of installing 100,000 new heat pumps by 2025, a milestone that represents significant progress in reducing Maine’s reliance on heating oil, lowering heating costs, and curbing harmful carbon emissions.
To continue Maine’s momentum, Governor Mills also unveiled a new target: installing another 175,000 additional heat pumps in Maine by 2027, thereby bringing the number of heat pumps installed in Maine homes, businesses, and public buildings during her time in office to 275,000.
If this target is achieved, Maine would have more than 320,000 heat pumps in total installed across the state.
Heat pumps can be thought of as temperature recycling machines. They are filled with refrigerant fluid and contain a compressor, and they work by extracting excess heat and moving it around, either in or out of a house depending on whether it’s hot or cold.
It’s believed they work best in hot weather, but in February, Maine’s temperatures in some places plummeted during a cold snap to -60°F. Efficiency Maine, which aided in the state’s adoption of heat pumps by organizing rebates for customers under the provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act, did a survey of owners they had helped the previous year.
Many of [the heat pump owners] reported they were comfortable and warm, and offered to bring up the fact that by February they had already saved hundreds of dollars on home heating systems, over boilers, gas furnaces, and heating oil.
“We are setting an example for the nation,” said Mills at the announcement event. “Our transition to heat pumps is… curbing our reliance on fossil fuels, and cutting costs for Maine families, all while making them more comfortable in their homes—a hat trick for our state.”
The transition began in 2019 with bipartisan support of the Legislature, when Governor Mills enacted laws setting ambitious targets for transitioning to renewable energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions."

i showed my dad a gmv i made bc he wanted to see it since i told him it got into the finals of an amv competition and he was like "i know you're studying and working with the IT stuff, but you could be working in the game or media industry with this!" and, i love him and that was a high compliment but it's also so funny. let me change my nice secure career to something where it's far more difficult to get employed and that also pays far less. bc i like putting clips together to make it seem like video game men are in love with each other.

Thought you’d be interested in the new Human Footprints episode (PBS series) on dogs. Not even 10 minutes in and they’re covering the RCMPs’ killing of the Inuit sled dogs. -Velociterv
OOOO thank you for this! I'm def interested in watching this and it's great to see PBS covering the RCMP dog culls so early on in a program (although PBS is great anyways lol)

I’m tired of “cold-weather heat pumps” this, “extreme-cold-weather heat pumps” that.
How about you make an air conditioner where the compressor doesn’t kick off until it’s 40-fucking-degrees Fahrenheit in my house, okay? None of this “ohhh, it’s 62°F outside. I couldn’t possibly make it any colder inside.”

When I go to bed I want to dream about being locked in a restaurant deep freezer. Do better.
