Seeking a very specific kind of #hacker help here... Does anyone know how to override the temperature limits on this Honeywell Home thermostat?
@deviantollam I've heard you mention it for hotel thermostats - any idea if it can be done for consumer-grade?
I’m weirdly obsessed with #HVAC. Carrier announced a complete air-to-water #heatpump system earlier this year. It does heating, cooling, and domestic hot water. I did not expect them to bring it to market so quickly, but it’s no longer a press release: https://www.carrier.com/residential/en/us/products/heat-pumps/33nm3/ #hydronics #decarbonization

Global heat pump manufacturers can build their factories in other countries if the Trump administration drops the ball

Heat pump manufacturers can invest in factories elsewhere if the US will not support them.

Clean geothermal energy to heat and cool Chicago homes: 'An example for the entire country'

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
How Heat Pumps Became America’s Hottest Home Energy System

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

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

Self-defending microgrids can rally home appliances to fend off cyberattacks.
Week 11 saw the painting mostly finished up and electrical trim out on Monday and Tuesday, and yesterday and today the HVAC guys did their finishing work.
Here’s how things look now.

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.

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.
Heat pumps invaded the HVAC space, now they are attacking water heaters
