No... he is correct you can MOVE 5 times the amount of heat with the same energy it takes to MAKE 1 unit of heat.

Sounds like from the comments below, they didn't have any trouble to begin with. And since I can make Disneyland look like a Horror film on Camera, edit it out, then upload it. I really doubt no one can be fooled between the exaggeration and the real thing if you've been there. But behold, I can make Photos look like no one is at the rides, I can make it the ticket booth look desolate, And if I go to the break room I could make some serious nightmare fuel with the disembodied costumes.

No it's not, because you are not paying for the heat you remove from outside air. Of course it's no perpetum mobile, but in terms of heat in your home vs fuel spent, yes it is over 100% efficient.

So two questions:
How can I find out if I'm HIV resistant?
How can I get PrEP?
Out of all the sexually transmitted diseases, HIV would probably be the worst for me. Most of the others are curable afaik (not that I'd have unprotected sex to begin with), and less easy to transmit.

The idea being that your power grid can eventually switch over to clean energy sources. But if you buy a traditional furnace, you are guaranteed to burn fossil fuels for the life of the appliance.

A huge number of people go their entire lives without buying a new car. They do this because they can't afford to buy a new car. All those people are going to be screwed.

Nope. I know, it sounds like it violates the laws of thermodynamics, but it’s very real. The reason is that heat pumps don’t generate all of their own heat; they just move it around.

I apologize. I finally was able to input the right address this time into the GPS system.

Yes. They regularly sell them at Costco and other grocery shops. They’re even worse.

Heat pump efficiency being >100% is very real.

Hotcakes never sold near as good as rubbers.
The expression should be: "Sells like rubbers."
Who needs hotcakes?

Heat pump efficiency can reach 300%. The maximum efficiency when using natural gas to heat a home directly is 100%. So as crazy as it sounds, burning mangas to generate electricity actually results in net gains in efficiency when using a heat pump instead of combustion based heating.

There is no commercial test as far as I’m aware. You’d have to talk to your doctor to see if you’re a candidate for PrEP
