"carefully designed tariffs, used with sensible scheduling, could bring
some part of space-heating and hot water demand forward in the afternoon to take pressure off evening peaks. At a neighbourhood scale, borehole fields with water-to-water heat pumps as part of a district heating system can supply efficient, shared, low-carbon heat and act as
thermal storage"

‘It’s been a revelation’: how heat pumps can cool your home in a heatwave
By Zoe Wood

It might seem an unlikely way to stop overheating, but many owners have found the tech a lifeline in hot weather

"With targets now set for the phase-out of #gas boilers in countries across #Europe, in recent years, gas companies in the #UK and the #EU have lobbied hard for #hydrogen over #HeatPumps – the model which offers the least disruption to their business model."

"#Heating homes with #renewable green #hydrogen would require five to six times more wind and solar capacity than needed to provide the same warmth using #HeatPumps."

Put the other way: the same solar field or wind farm can heat 5-6 times more homes through heat pumps than through the hydrogen process. Meaning, heat pumps allow a faster transition.

Plus you get home cooling as well!

The #HydrogenHype for building heat is just that: hype.
