I'm sure you are in full winter mode there where you are...
Did you ever get you heat pump built and tested?

Got the last pieces I need today, so not yet. Currently running with a hot water heater. It is cold, but just around freezing, not like last year, when we had 20C below (40F?) for a month already.

I had some questions as well, but he seems to have vanished. I am not sure that he was completely honest with us. His claims where illogical imo.

Not much to add that I have not already mentioned. I have a HRV that has two 1 meter long 20 by 20 cm tubes full of long wavy aluminium fins going the full length. The airflow alternates back and forth between them. On my pad thingy, so hard to both type and make drawings.

Energy costs are still too cheap in the USA for anyone except idiots such as myself and others on this eco-blog, to take energy efficiency very seriously.
Thanks for any information you might pass my way.

Try to use Google translate on ener.no for now. After the holidays I get access to a keyboard and mouse again.
