I want to help save the planet one HP at a time. Check out my post history for real world data on my experience with heat pumps for space heating and water heating and lots more background information. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨🔋

If you have central air, and replace your AC, then a ducted air-source HP should meet at least 3-seasons of your heating. If you don't have ducts, consider a ductless mini-split system. You can find info on rebates here. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨🔋 unicolorado.com/colorado-hea...

@imaniperry.bsky.social You can to get a heat pump or hybrid HP system that will meet your needs. Ground Source heat pumps are more expensive, but work to lower temps. Air-source HPs can get to -23F. Depending on your record low T you may need backup (electric or gas furnace). 🧪🔌💡☀️💨🔋

🧪🌋⚒️ Lava fountaining & tephra production is spectacular, but many volcanologists study the ensuing lava flows, e.g., as in these Apr-25 #USGS visual & thermal #Kilauea #Hawaii images. Length, thickness, & texture of these viscous fluid flows reflect eruption/cooling conditions, composition & rate.
