The smart thing to do in winter is put municipal liquid water in your freezer, and dump it outside once frozen to thaw in spring. Rince repeat all winter long.

Voila: everyone has heat pump heating! (And dead compressors).
The dumb thing is having the compressor itself indoors in summer. Should be outside.
- mixmastamyk 4y agoInteresting, how to remove it easily from the container? Or do you use an ice machine? Is this more efficient than using the heater? Guess it uses heat pump tech.
- Scoundreller 4y agoJust have tubs of water. Dump them once they’re ice. Yes, more efficient than a resistance heater. Possibly more cost efficient than gas. Wastes a lot of water (if you don’t have a well). A fridge is just a heat pump.
- bobthepanda 4y agoThe issue with that is that if it’s outside, you need a hole in the wall somewhere to connect it. Today fridges are more or less plug and play. Most kitchens don’t have a hole in the wall going outside where the fridge would go. Some kitchens aren’t even on walls facing the exterior (which I dislike, but they exist)
