    Yeah, but it’s only 100% efficient at best. Heat pumps are 200% - 400% so it is not really a 1 to 1 as far as heating. And in warm months you have to offset that heat so it very well could be a net loss.

      Sure, that 20€ will really hit me hard 😁 /j

      Nice find about heat pump efficiency, I had not thought about that!

        Yeah for a pi not a huge deal. But I’ve heard people argue it before for larger devices as well.

        Point is that this 20€ annual stacks over the years contributing to the long term cost of your device.
