Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented. They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed. That energy is all around us. And it does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

Don’t think I’ve posted #casestudyrequests here before so let’s see how this goes: - I’m looking for anyone who signed a pre-nup and fell out over it with their partner - I’m looking for anyone who stayed with their partner because of the cost of living but then left/got divorced
