Very excited to rip out our fossil #gas furnace and replace it with a cold climate air-source #heatpump this week. New system is more affordable, efficient and comfortable and will end our household dependance on fossil fuels. Disconnect #gas #electrifyeverything #ClimateCrisis

I'll be sure to post details, photos (and eventually household energy data) through the process.

obligatory photo of trashed old #gas furnace (and water leaking from its poorly installed drain connection)

and here is the new indoor #heatpump unit - or #thermopompe si tu préfères

A timely article today by @AnnaKanduth @ClimateInstit on the importance of #heatpumps for Canada to address building emissions and meet #climate obligations #cdnpoli 440megatonnes.ca/insight/heat-p…

Here is the outdoor unit (heat exchanger) going in - hung 8 feet off the ground to save space on the ground and avoid being covered in snow

#heatpump install complete! (and electric water heater) Our little house is now toasty and #fossilfree. Time to disconnect our #gas line forever. #electrifyeverything #ClimateCrisis
