Today an electrician did the last bit of work on our new heat pump and it is now fully operational. It is more discreet in both looks and noise level than I had expected, and it’s doing a great job at heating up the rooms.

It comes with an app – of course – in addition to the remote control. You can tweak the settings, set up a schedule for it, and, most interestingly, monitor its energy consumption. The numbers are incredibly low for the heat it outputs and I would almost question their truthfulness if I didn’t see our overall electricity consumption also take a steep dive, in the other app.
