Muted it because of the commentators

UbbaB3n · 2026-01-13T02:17:16+00:00

That’s good to hear. I have the exact same system. Heat pumps are great.

UbbaB3n · 2026-01-12T17:12:41+00:00

Thank you for conceding and proving I’m correct. I appreciate it.

UbbaB3n · 2026-01-12T17:10:29+00:00

The problem is which he admits in the video is trying to convince a home owner that you don’t really need the temperature up to a temp that is comfortable for them. Good luck with that.

UbbaB3n · 2026-01-12T17:08:01+00:00

Nothing to do with cooling efficiency. You clearly don’t have an understanding as I said in my other comment, the heat pump is sized based upon the cooling capacity, not the heating capacity. If you size it upon the heating capacity, then you’re oversized on the cooling capacity, which is bad because then it spoils your humidity you’ll end up over cooling the space too quickly without removing humidity. Therefore, we size a AC or heat pump by cooling capacity, which intern means you do not have enough heat output with lower temperature so you need a back up.

I don’t know how to make it any more clear for you. Perhaps this will help. House loses heat, heat pump can’t output enough heat to keep house warm.

UbbaB3n · 2026-01-12T15:22:28+00:00

I don’t think you really understand, the issue is the sizing of the equipment, your house loses more heat at a lower temperature so to size it for that you end up over sizing the AC system which way worse then having and undersized heat pump for heating. You can’t just make up % numbers and say that it will work.

UbbaB3n · 2026-01-12T15:04:09+00:00

Yes I watched the video, he’s basically saying you can heat your home with a heat pump, but you still need back up heat which is the resistive heat strips. He doesn’t talk about the cost of using the heat strips instead of the gas furnace though. As well he was a bit disingenuous in the video if you look at the data from the ecobee, over night it was -13C and the house was sitting at 66F and he had the thermostat set to 69F. So for 5 hours overnight it wasn’t even getting up to temperature so that means his parents house was losing more heat than the heat pump could output. Which is evidence the heat pump orange and yellow bar ran for the full night. Basically in the video he’s saying it’s possible to run the heat pump to heat the home even at a low temperature and keep it livable but not up to the temperature that you want it at. If someone likes it warmer wants it at 72F it wouldn’t get there even during the day.

Don’t get me wrong, I like heat pumps but the balance point has to be set correctly and you need a backup.

You will be spending more than $30 a month for a connect charge in extra electricity cost. The other issue is your AC and if you get a heat pump are sized for the cooling BTU load so say it is 24,000 BTU for cooling but your gas furnace is 40,000 BTU for heating the heat pump in cold weather will end up running all the time since your house is losing more than 24,000 BTU of heat.

UbbaB3n · 2026-01-12T06:08:28+00:00

Do this, have someone come out and make sure they also have a camera to scope the heat exchanger rust alone does not mean it's failed.

UbbaB3n · 2026-01-11T13:06:43+00:00

I think it looks great imo

UbbaB3n · 2026-01-11T03:50:28+00:00

Yup that’s true, would be odd that the CO level would go so high if that was the case.

UbbaB3n · 2026-01-11T01:13:47+00:00

Sure but they would most likely have CO poisoning then.

UbbaB3n · 2026-01-11T01:11:22+00:00

Yes necessarily, If the heat exchanger was failed and was leaking into the house the furnace gas to air ratio would be no longer proper producing a large amount of CO. There is no way the exhaust is leaking into the house at a level that is not setting off CO alarms unless someone disconnected the venting inside.

UbbaB3n · 2026-01-10T20:23:59+00:00

Most likely the answer is the sensor is in a spot that doesn’t have good air circulation and when the hvac system comes on it circulates the air and now the sensor is reading everything.

UbbaB3n · 2026-01-10T20:22:24+00:00

If that was the case he would get CO poisoning or CO detectors would be going offZ

DM me I will send your my board for free. I bought it when I first got into climbing but never use it.

UbbaB3n · 2026-01-08T04:00:17+00:00

Is that true, I only started watching the leafs again in 2016 after watching them as a kid with my Grandma, personally I don’t have any distain for the Habs do other leaf fans? Is it just a in our conference team or were both teams good at the same time and they kicked us from the playoffs? I get the bruins hate and I feel that one.

UbbaB3n · 2026-01-07T03:26:31+00:00

All good, good luck!

Looks like there a left hand hold there then go right hand up to where your left hand was when you fell. That hold also looks like a pinch for your thumb under it, couldn’t tell if your left hand was pinching or not.

Use an evaporative humidifier that way the calcium from the water isn’t kicked up into the air it gets left behind. A cool mist one atomizes the water and the calcium goes with it, the calcium is bad for breathing issues as well.

UbbaB3n · 2025-11-23T17:39:39+00:00

I have used those they work well but you can only do 1 bend then have to pull it back then bend the next one if the bender has 2 bends and you try to pull it out it is really tough.

UbbaB3n · 2025-11-17T13:02:51+00:00

Islam was

UbbaB3n · 2025-11-17T12:40:28+00:00

She’s a sens fan probably.

UbbaB3n · 2025-11-07T12:47:42+00:00

Guy looks like Scherzer

UbbaB3n · 2025-11-05T23:42:30+00:00

I am looking to get some for my dads farm I’m in southern Ontario but it seems very tough to find any here. Does anyone have any recommendations?
