☀️ Our best April yet! We're thrilled to share our solar generation report. Record April production (610 kWh!) covered 91% of our house usage and resulted in huge savings compared to the new price cap. The West/North facing panels are now coming more and more into play.

LMFAO the company I bought #smartthermostats from wants me to #beta test their newest model, in the #summer of all seasons of the year. Like why? My #thermostats are off all summer since they are for #baseboard #heaters, they should be doing the beta testing for this in #winter, do beta testing for the #AC & #heatpump thermostats in the summer instead. #smarthome

The makings of a small heat pump starts with winter cold air outside.
A greenhouse with inflated ETFE walls creates a warmer "bubble" around the already well-insulated tiny house inside.
The tiny house demands little heating so the heat pump can be much smaller than currently available units.
The brushless compressor is powered with 48 volts DC from lithium batteries, without the need of an inverter.

I live in an UK 1950s semi. I've slapped solar and a battery into it, and over the next few years I want to step up the energy efficiency+eco impact with retrofitting.
Anybody know of any useful blogs or resources? Any localish companies (North East) who can help?
I'm thinking about #insulation, #underfloorheating, #heatpump, what else? #passivehouse

ARE WE NEARLY THERE YET?
Soon, soon we will be in 2026!
Here are some of our home energy stats and story for the year so far!
-
End of December. Germany. −5 °C outside.
~3.8 kW solar production — and 1.2 kW going straight into the heat pump.Not “free heating”.
Recycled sunlight. ☀️➡️🔥
No grid import. No battery cycling. Just direct winter solar doing useful work.This is why cold, clear days are PV magic.

@JugglingWithEggs 50 installations per year is way way way too few! Even just amongst our ~25k houses, ~1000 #heatPump #installations per year would be more like it.

Hey #Massholes: cheaper electric rate if you have a #heatpump for winter heat. I just found the #Eversource form page today.
A friend got an email that they were auto-enrolled, but I was not. You should check.

Big night. I still have a massive cold and I've finally cracked: the heating is now on. Flow temperatures will go back down by 5 ˚C once we're a bit closer to equilibrium.
I had hoped to hold off until the smart meter goes in on Friday but the flesh is weak. #heatpump #newseason #OpenEnergyMonitor -

“Passive House Behind a Refreshed Bungalow”
"The 5,000-square foot duplex on a compact, sloping lot shows how energy efficiency and architectural heritage can coexist"
Granted this isn't mass-market, but shows what can be done for small incremental cost:
"The team spent just [2.5%] extra—about $75,000—to hit #PassiveHouse standards, which include full stormwater reuse, #HeatPump systems, and net zero-ready infrastructure.”

In this day and age, there is simply no excuse for not installing #solar, #batteries and a #heatpump when building a new house. I’d go further and say all new houses should meet #passivehouse standard. Our government should put forward legislation to insist upon this. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/may/15/the-guardian-view-on-green-homes-solar-panels-and-heat-pumps-should-be-a-bare-minimum

#Lennox's new extreme cold #heatpump operates at as low as -20F
It’s called Dave Lennox Signature® Collection SL22KLV Cold Climate Heat Pump, and Lennox claims its efficiency levels are 150% higher at colder temperatures than standard heat pumps.
In 2022, Lennox was first company to complete first phase of the #US #DOE Residential Cold Climate Heat Pump (CCHP) Technology Challenge, and the SL22KLV is a souped up version of the unit developed for that challenge.

@zapaman Interestingly I don't think that I received any email about this one, so I assumed that it was not happening. Hope to see you this evening!
I'm certainly considering adding #HomeAssistant to my toolkit, and I might migrate some of my random stuff into there and could use it as a gateway into #Daikin #heatpump #Onecta but I don't know if my main RPI3B would cope!

Does anyone else have any experience with a #Mitsubishi #HeatPump that uses a #thermostat with #Kumo cloud support?
We've had ours a year. The Kumo app is just as bad as everyone said (worse actually, that could be a whole other post--it's pretty clearly using a homegrown cross-platform UI toolkit)), but there is a HomeBridge plugin, so at least I can adjust the temperature without using the app and use the app only for scheduling. But none of that is my issue.
Periodically the Mitsubishi thermostat forgets to change the temperature.
We have a trivial program. All week set to 66F at 6am, set to 61F at 8pm.
It has never failed to turn the temperature up. But every few weeks or months it forgets to turn it down. I'll be lying in bed and feeling hot, notice the fans are running, check the temp and see that it claims to be running the program, but it's not. In fact, it's running the heat even though it's a degree above 66F and over an hour since the scheduled drop.
I can futz around with the Kumo app, but it doesn't fix it. I have to manually set the temp to 61F. It happened twice last week.
I've tried disconnecting HomeBridge, just to be sure it isn't interfering. I've tried it with the WiFi hotspot the installers put in (they got tired of debugging WiFi issues for customers). I've tried it with mine. I've erased the schedule and started over.
I cannot believe they released a thermostat with this basic an issue. I've complained via the AppStore. I've complained via a contact address on the website. I'll be complaining to the installers when they do a checkup in a few weeks.
This is nuts. Are they relying on cloud access to do the change? I haven't been able to identify any networking issues at failure time, but their cloud service flakes out every week or so. Is there some obscure C to F conversion bug? (I suspect that's why it reads a degree higher than the set temperature most of the time.)
How could you get something this basic this wrong?
Heat pump and air exchange work great though.
