My landlord had a heat pump installed in my rental just recently and I asked him about it. For context: It’s a student rental in an area that gets cold winters and hot summers. Because he takes the electric cost from vacationers in the summer it’s more efficient to have a heat pump that can do both AC for them and heat for me in the winter. It simplified the things he has to worry about/repair, plus saves me money on the electric bill (which he then up charges the rent of course).

[obligatory fuck landlords, we’re better off without them]
