I just dont like moving parts. My problem with heat pumps is that you have to replace every 10-20 years which seems wasteful.

- kupopuffs 4y agoDo you own a heater that has lasted more than 10 years?
- bluGill 4y agoThe furnace in my house is from 1970 and still works. I don't want to know how inefficient it is. (I just upgraded the insulation of the house, replacing the furnace is a future problem)
- timbit42 4y agoMy heat pump has a CoP of 3 and paid for itself in 10 years. New heat pumps have a CoP of 4 or higher and might pay for themselves in less. How much material in a heat pump is recyclable and how much isn't, compared to a furnace? We are trying to reduce CO2 and methane in the atmosphere. Throwing away the non-recyclable parts of heat pumps isn't as big of a concern. Polluting the ground and water isn't even as big a concern. Certainly they are concerns, but they pale in comparison.
