Can Heat Pumps Extend the Life of Your EV? Let’s discuss! https://buff.ly/30cN16Y Thanks for this post, Christopher Matos-Rogers! We know heat pump water heaters are impressively, almost exponentially more energy efficient. Did you also know that heat pumps help with humidity and cooling? Ok, but did you ALSO know that heat pumps generate some cool air exhaust that can help with cooling and dehumidifying other part of the home? Especially in warmer, more humid climates, there's an even "cooler" possible benefit - Check out this piece to see how your heat pump water heater can literally help cool your EV and reduce your energy load. Hard to believe heat pump water heaters can get any better, but there it is. #heatpumps #waterheaters #heatpumpwaterheaters #humidity #HVAC #cooling #airconditioning #EV #EVs #electrification #decarbonization #enegyefficiency #solar #greenhomes #sustainability #homes #building #greenbuilding #homebuilding #construction #architecture #design #sustainability #SDGs #home #homes #greenhomes #greenliving #realestate #residential #realestateprofessionalsrock What do you think of heat pump water heaters? Have you diverted cool exhaust air? Share your example and experience, and join the conversation!

Making the Connection: Sustainable Living & Electrifying Everything - Follow Rebecca Kimber of earthyb as she renovates and electrifies her home! https://j.mp/3DpZFOI Rebecca and her family have been been replacing natural gas appliances with electric as old appliances break down. So far they’ve replaced their natural gas range with an induction oven and a wood burning fireplace with an electric fireplace insert. They also replaced a propane outdoor heater with a radiant heater. Like our team at Rate It Green, Rebecca thinks it's a great idea to have a plan for equipment replacement, so you don't get caught making a decision in an emergency. You also want to avoid needing to redo a project or even deinstall a piece of equipment when it doesn't meet your family's needs and clean energy goals. #earthyb #home #homes #greenliving #greenhomes #decarbonization #electrification #greenbuilding #building #buildings #construction #electrifyeverything #inductioncooking #IAQ #HVAC #appliances #health #comfort #homebuilding #HVAC #Indoorairquality #IAQ #greenbuilding #inductioncooking #appliances #fireplaces #sustainability #healthybuilding #energyefficiency #energy #fossilfuels #naturalgas #propane #carbon #lowcarbon #zerocarbon #radiantheaters #climatechange #environment

rheia's Comfort by Design - Smaller, Energy & Labor Efficient HVAC Air Distribution. https://buff.ly/3l70nsL Win-ins include energy efficiency, improved comfort & labor and operational savings. Why is HVAC ductwork so big and bulky, and tangled? We’ve made changes to electrical and plumbing systems, so why not HVAC ducts? Clearly, it’s time for something new. How about 3” ductwork that works with a conventional air handler and snaps together easily, and also provides greater comfort and efficiency? Total building time, and project waste, are reduced as well. #HVAC #ventilation #ducts #airducts #air #airquality #indoorairquality #energy #energyefficiency #building #buildings #construction #design #architecture #engineering #labor #materials #greenbuilding #savings #rheia @panasonic
