With legislation and subsidies putting forth an effort to rid modern homes of gas burning heating, there is thankfully more attention now being put towards combating climate change. One of the stalwart warriors in this push for electrification is currently the humble heat pump. While this modern marvel of heating and cooling technology might seem like a rather new player in the field, but this technology has been developing and maturing for the last 150 years. Public perception of this technology is dubious for a vast majority of consumers, leading to hesitancy in adopting this highly efficient method of heating and cooling. Dispelling some of the myths and misconceptions around heat pumps can hopefully lead to more widespread adoption of this wonderful technology.
