I must not be in the know with the lingo... because I can't quite parse that.
Husband: is a sandwich artist
Wife: is an $8000 rebate for a heat pump? Is this the new form of mail order bride: get $8000 in coupons or a wife worth $8000?
They are saying the husband gets his income from being a sandwich artist and the wife’s income comes from a rebate on purchasing a heat pump.
Well, she's not worth 8 grand. Part of that is travel expenses, visa, schooling, etc. It adds up pretty quick.
Haha, no. It's a government rebate for buying a new heat pump.
What's a heat pump?
A reverseable air condition unit.
What AC does in essence. A heat pump moves hot air from one area to another. Heatpumps are bi directional(thus heat or cool by fliping direction of airflow) AC is technically single directional, and some people mistaken Heatpumps for AC.
For typical uses, ACs are setup to remove heat inside and push it outside. If an AC can also be used as a heater, then its probably not AC (or it probably is a combo unit). Heat pumps dont have that problem.
Example of a utility that uses the same concept as AC is a refrigerator. It regulates temps with a compressor inside to move heat from inside to out, but never the reverse.
