Clean geothermal energy to heat and cool Chicago homes: 'An example for the entire country'
https://techxplore.com/news/2025-03-geothermal-energy-cool-chicago-homes.html
Does anyone have recommends for book or website I can use to educate myself on options for upgrading a postwar bungalow from a gas furnace + AC to heat pump(s)? The book I have is OK for basic principles but I’m looking for more what units are available, cost, installation pitfalls.
I have asthma which is aggravated by the current system blowing dust around summer + winter. Primary motivation is comfort, better energy efficiency would be bonus points. #HVAC #HeatPump #minisplit #renovation

Good friends in Texas are experiencing difficult times. :(
Their air conditioning failed, and temperatures are rising fast. They have a young kid.

Saving $$ with #cleanenergy
NY needs to replace a lot of #fossilgas lines b/c of age and wear.
Very expensive to do, raises gas bills.
May be cheaper to electrify neighborhoods, even including:
- all new heating and cooling
- weatherization of bldgs
Plus: no gas leaks & better air quality & health
Pressure to pass state law to facilitate this #electrification

Heating expert came to my house yesterday to fix a loud noise coming from my furnace. I am awed with mechanical intelligence. Let’s boost our fixers! #HVAC #Plumbing #Mechanics
Final tally on #cleanenergy win:
Americans bought 32% more clean air-source heat pumps than fossil gas furnaces in 2024.
Biggest margin ever!
20 year trend, aka much bigger than
Got big bump from Biden's #IRA tax credits, also normal trend of how new tech is adopted.
Heat pumps for housing are major part of states' climate plans

Heat pumps in US: Details on finding a good installer and why it's hard

A. I have code to run today onsite B. My office has a heating issue, it was 90 degrees when I arrived, slowly dispelling to the low 80s with the help of a fan but C. The fan is very loud and D. The database connection is exceedingly slow this morning. Sigh.
New cold climate heat pump delivers AC in hot weather, too.

@jayemar I found out what interface my AC uses by taking the proprietary controller the unit came with, then looking up the FCC ID written on its case, and downloading the product manual provided by that FCC website. The protocol was mentioned there.
The interface was a USB port, though the protocol was UART as documented in that #ESPHome page I've linked to. Just today I started looking at a Midea AC unit I have in another room. It has a 5-pin connector that I am yet to learn about.
Today I've connected a split Haier AC unit to my #HomeAssistant smart home. By default, the unit would run a proprietary controller via a proprietary Haier smartphone app and connect to someone else's cloud. This tweak I've done makes it work completely locally in Home Assistant via #ESPHome, relying on #FreeSoftware exclusively.
