    Questions:

    Do you have a heat pump water heater? I'm especially interested in either of these models (Geospring or Voltex X), of course, but they're relatively new and I assume not widely deployed yet. I'm curious to hear anyone's experience with a heat pump water heater, what went well or not. Has anyone seen these split heat pump water heaters (with outdoor compressors) in the wild?

    How would you choose between these two models, aside from price? /🧵

    Second, A. O. Smith's Voltex X:
    cleantechnica.com/2026/08/10/a
    hotwater.com/products/split-sy

    It's a split heat pump water heater, with the compressor outdoors. It uses #CO2 #refrigerant and therefore has a GWP of exactly 1.

    Pros:
    * Can use less indoor space, house is small
    * Does not cool house in winter
    * No need for resistance heat

    Cons:
    * Uses outdoor space, yard is also small
    * More expensive, outdoor unit needs 240v
    * Outdoor water lines could freeze

    First, #GE’s #Geospring:
    cleantechnica.com/2025/07/10/g
    geappliances.com/appliance/GE-

    This is a unitary water heater, using HFO-1234yf #refrigerant, which has a GWP of <1: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2%2C3%2C

    I haven't been able to find a local source, but it seems I can order it online and have it shipped for a plumber to install: wayfair.com/home-improvement/p

    Pros:
    * Can run on 120V, can avoid electrician
    * Cools basement in summer

    Cons:
    * Cools basement in winter
    * Resistance heat backup

    Heat pumps, solar and wind could cut EU gas use by a quarter and blunt a next energy shock, a study finds.

    Hitting EU targets for heat pumps, solar and wind could slash gas demand by roughly a quarter by 2030 — a saving twice the size of the LNG volumes Qatar could potentially supply to Europe by then, according to new analysis by the think-tank Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis.

    At laboratory stage but promising:

    Heat pumps without compressors: Fraunhofer advances electrocalorics

    "Novel concept: solid-state #HeatPumps based on #electrocaloric materials that do not run on harmful #refrigerants and could potentially be more efficient than compressor-based systems."
