my fab new #heatpumps are giving me hot water & air, sans combustion & electrical resistance, via the science of #thermodynamics my fab new heatpumps are giving me hot water & air, sans combustion & electrical resistance, via benevolent #magic at least one of those statements is true at least one... 🤭 #dropbearelectrification

tis middle of winter [well, metaphorically at least, if possibly not perfectly arithmetically accurate], & Now UPDATED 11:50AM AEST 8.5° FEELS LIKE 3.3°C& i be sittin' here in a tee shirt, at #properpooter, in me study, hitherto the froziest room in da house in winter & hitherto i'd be buried under 2 minimum sometimes 3 jumpers, & various under-layers & i can't yet decide whether to let myself relax into enjoying this transformation per Time Zero yesterday or feel guilty about it all 🤔🤷 #dropbearelectrification #rcac #heatpumps #renewableenergy #climatecrisis

it is done, all is well, & i seem to have survived 💃🥳🎉 now, approaching 7pm, i am luxuriating in my new heating; space & water. It's all lovely! They were here 0700 - ~1500, having done much better than their original estimate [1700]. All the blokes were fabulous with me, entirely natural & completely unstaged... almost as if they did not know! 😮🤔🤷 I feel very happy atm... & tbh, a little bit proud of myself for finally doing this [10 years in the making, sigh]! all the equipment is, frankly, amazeballs. really impressive engineering. i feel so lucky to have been in a position to have [belatedly] done this, as i fully recognise so many cannot, & have challenges far greater than whingie little me. well, i seem unable to do so many normal life things, but by doing this, finally i can feel content that i'm pulling my weight a little, no longer burning gas & killing Gaia... & us 🥺 #dropbearelectrification #heating #heatpumps #climatecrisis

@cheryanne@aus.social ta muchly. will still have the gas cooktop [replace with induction is a project for another year], but the gas storage HWH becomes a heatpump water heater, & the gas space heater becomes two split RCAC systems [1 in lounge, 1 in study]. 🤞🤞🤞 i don't have or want solar panels, but for mega yonks i've paid for green electricity, so that's what will power these. #dropbearelectrification

all tuckered out now. three 'gentlemen callers' here in the last three weeks including just minutes ago. flutter flutter. need a bex & a good lie down now 😳 in coming weeks there'll be two intense long days with five or six g/c here 😱 but if all goes well, & the mighty prophet zarquon is kind, i'll then be 2/3 de-gassed [by appliance] & ~90+% de-gassed [by actual consumption] 🤞 #heatpumps #dropbearelectrification #climatecrisis #electrification
