  You know it’s funny, yesterday I checked his channel because it’s been a while since I saw one of his videos. This isn’t the first time it’s happened like that

    Same here. I was thinking it’s been a while so I checked. Next day this came out!

  It was a bit inevitable. I’m curious to hear how he reconciles taking heat from an already heated room, or if it’s a split system. Lunchtime video next week to find out!

    yeah it’s a wash in winter (slightly better if you also have a heat pump furnace), but a benefit in the summer.

      I feel like it should be programmable. Like don’t activvate if outside (of the device) temp is below 70. I also wonder if putting one of those insulation blankets made for hot water heaters in the winter would reduce it trying to use the ambient temp.

    Spoiler:

    The effect is not significant enough to matter

  Nice way to dehumidify a room.

  On the other hand all the ones I had are never hot enough.
