Nate<p>After two winters of heating my backyard greenhouse (tropical plants) with fan blown electric resistance heating (read: electric space heater), I'm looking for a more efficient method. </p><p>I see others using methane or propane, but, yuck and I don't want to cause an explosion. </p><p>I haven't seen examples of people doing it, but would it be possible to wire up a 120v mini split? </p><p><a href="https://xoxo.zone/tags/Greenhouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Greenhouse</span></a> <a href="https://xoxo.zone/tags/TropicalPlants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TropicalPlants</span></a> <a href="https://xoxo.zone/tags/Plants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Plants</span></a> <a href="https://xoxo.zone/tags/HeatPump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HeatPump</span></a> <a href="https://xoxo.zone/tags/AirSourceHeatPump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AirSourceHeatPump</span></a> <a href="https://xoxo.zone/tags/MiniSplit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MiniSplit</span></a></p>

Shaun McDonald<p>Heating the hot water using the <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/HeatPump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HeatPump</span></a> on eco mode over the past few days has cost less than the gas standing charge would have been. So we are already saving money since the gas meter was taken out. Ok pennies or tens of pennies per day in the summer but it adds up.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/AirSourceHeatPump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AirSourceHeatPump</span></a></p>
James Bradbury<p>Feeling excited to have finally banished the fossil gas connection from our home.</p><p>We're fortunate to have been able to install solar panels and an air-source heat pump. Now, with the removal of the ageing and probably dangerous gas hob (stove), we can finally say goodbye to gas and with it a significant source of indoor air pollution and methane emissions.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AirSourceHeatPump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AirSourceHeatPump</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SolarPanels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SolarPanels</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/InductionHob" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InductionHob</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/climatechange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>climatechange</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/IndoorAirPollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndoorAirPollution</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Methane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Methane</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gas</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DomesticHeating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DomesticHeating</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/energytransition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>energytransition</span></a></p>
Shaun McDonald<p>It must be getting drier out there as even so it's cold (as in sub zero temperatures) outside my shed office <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/AirSourceHeatPump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AirSourceHeatPump</span></a> has not done the defrost cycles overnight. The previous few nights it's done a few each night.</p>
Eamonn Kerins<p>Finally got an <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/AirSourceHeatPump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AirSourceHeatPump</span></a> installed, after many false starts and a fair bit of <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/procrastination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>procrastination</span></a> on my part. </p><p>And this morning I deleted my <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/Twitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Twitter</span></a> / <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/X" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>X</span></a> accounts and apps so i don't have to put up with <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> / <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Musk</span></a> sewerage on my timeline anymore.</p><p>So, overall, a good week for plumbing improvements.</p>
Andy Clayton<p>I missed this comment to one of my heat pump videos on YouTube </p><p>People seem obsessed with the cost. As it turns out, over its lifetime I’m confident it’ll be at least the same as running as gas boiler with the distinct possibility it’ll be much cheaper.</p><p>But that isn’t really the point… 👇🏻</p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateCrisis</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/ashp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ashp</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/airsourceheatpump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>airsourceheatpump</span></a></p>
