Doubts about whether heat pumps work well in subzero conditions shown to be unfounded, say researchers

I hear that too. Not just politicians, there’s loads of experts lecturing on heating technologies. It’s just too cold in Germany for heat pumps. Doesn’t stop Scandinavia from getting them, granted, but in Germany it’s just too cold. No point. Sorry.

I can’t get an electrician and contractor to come install one (as an AC mainly) inside of 6 months, and I’ve been trying to find one for 6 months.

The heat is actually killing me I can’t sleep and have other health problems. I brought a dual hose unit from the US with me I’m running on a voltage converter and it’s the only thing keeping my apartment livable.

Too cold, too cold…
