Heat Pump 101 

Wow, how gratifying it is when our community shows up! We unexpectedly filled both virtual and physical rooms with last week’s Heat Pump 101 event in numbers greater than we’ve seen since precovid. 

If you were not one of the ~130 people in attendance and are curious about heat pumps, watch the meeting recording here. This event was held in Homer as part of Homer Drawdown’s Climate Smart Homes program. 

Presenters included:

  • Andy Romanoff, Alaska Heat Smart Director
  • Andy Lorentz and Randy Ardnt, local heat pump installers
  • Erin Mckittrick, HEA Board Member 

If you are in the Homer area and are interested in a heat pump, you can find a list of local installers here.

This calls into question HEA’s commitment, or lack thereof, to member transparency. We understand not wanting to add fuel to an unpopular opinion from one board member, but members have a right to know what is discussed at board meetings and the intentions of the board members, popular or unpopular. Instead of telling members their comments are misinformed, HEA should better inform members by publishing recordings of each board meeting and capturing more detailed minutes.

Earlier this month, Cook Inletkeeper commented in support of leasing state land to a planned 271 megawatt windfarm on Little Mount Susitna, a windy plateau west of its big sister, Mount Susitna, commonly known as Sleeping Lady. Chugach Electric Association – which would buy power from the windfarm’s Fairbanks-based developer, Alaska Renewables – estimates it would save 3.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas annually.
