  1. #HeatPump #HotWater impressions

    #Rheem MDC180

    Cons
    "Noisy". About claimed volume @ 47-48dB, = to a quiet library according to my app. 🤔 It is not.

    I'd hate the noise at night, but day heating on timer is only background. The 37dB brand was ~2x the $$. 🤷‍♂️

    Pros
    Makes hot water

    100% from cold in <4h

    ~30% the power of *my* solar HWS on its daily winter boost. Met by existing panels - unlike old solar

    No leaks

    No disturbing noises all night

  3. No, I do NOT #smegging want a thermostat with #WiFi, or which connects to the #internet in any fashion, or which is controlled by a server run by a contractor-to-the-manufacturer-that-will-close-up-shop-in-three-years or any other #stupid "#smart" features.

    I want a 7-day programmable #thermostat that can handle single-stage #AC and a #modulating #gas #furnace.

    Is that too much to ask? Apparently, yes.

  8. Like everything these days my #Rheem #HeatPumpHotWaterHeater has a (kinda dodgy) app. They sent me an email touting their new and improved #Econet app.
    Mistake 1- didn't simply update the app via the normal update process. The instructions included "uninstall old app, click this link to get the new one".
    Mistake 2- failed to mention that it was only updated for iOS.
    I noticed a vague reference in the email to the app store after not finding a new version in G Play & links all sent me to Apple.
