Comment on 25 States Agree To Quadruple Number Of Heat Pumps In America
cmbabul@lemmy.world 9 months agoI like to shit on GOP states as much as anyone… But the southern states are all already going to have A/C in most building. While I realize that isn’t the same, and heat pumps are more versatile. There isn’t nearly as much need as there is in say Maine or Washington, additionally most buildings in the south are designed to keep heat out and stay cool because it’s always gotten and stayed hot there.

The fact that southern states already have A/C is even more of a reason they should be leading the charge towards heat pumps. The fact that industry-standard practice around here is installing entire natural gas furnaces instead of just adding a damn reversing valve to the A/C we were always gonna install anyway is just flat-out moronic.
