A short magazine
GetHeatPumped
A short magazine about a quiet machine.
There is a machine that moves heat instead of making it. It does in summer what it does in winter, in reverse, through the same hardware. It runs on electricity. It can be quiet. It can be beautiful. It has been around longer than most people think, and the new ones are finally interesting.
Welcome.
Start here
The Primer. A short magazine about how this thing works, what it costs, what to ask for, and what to expect. Ten short pieces, none of them longer than a coffee.
The Toolbox. The few calculators you actually need before you talk to anyone. A back-of-envelope estimator, a readiness quiz, and the patience to use them honestly.
Stories. Field notes, deep dives, conversations. Updated when there is something worth saying, and not when there is not.
A note on the project
GetHeatPumped is not for sale, not affiliated, and not interested in being your contractor. We exist to make the heat pump understandable, and to make it look as good on the page as it can look on the wall.
The site is editable in plain markdown by a single person on a quiet weekend, and it intends to stay that way. If you find something wrong, write to hello@getheatpumped.com and we will fix it.
Read at your own pace. The machine is patient.
