Almost all new houses are built with heat pumps where I live because it's kind of a no-brainer in those situations. And I see one old house after the other being wrapped in new thick isolation.
But heat pumps in old homes just aren't a thing because it's expensive and a lot of work to adapt the house's existing heating. People do understand it, they just don't want to bother with that.
- frosted-flakes 6y agoWhat is "isolation"? Is that a typo of "insulation"?
