An air-to-air heat pump can provide a more efficient alternative for heating a home, particularly in regions of Alaska with less dramatic temperature swings like Southeast. Because they run off of electricity, they can also reduce greenhouse gas emissions in communities that use renewable alternatives like hydropower or solar. (Photo by Erin McKinstry/KCAW)
Kake resident Adam Davis decided to convert to a heat pump about four years ago. Before that, he was using a pellet stove, but barging in fuel was getting expensive.
When Tlingit-Haida Regional Housing Authority offered to install a heat pump for free as part of a pilot program, it piqued his curiosity.

Many Southeast Alaska homeowners are converting to electric heat pumps as a way to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and improve air quality. But in some of Southeast’s smallest communities, the high cost of electricity makes operating them unaffordable. A recent study found that offering a special rate for heat pumps in the Kupreanof Island village of Kake and other remote communities could help the electric utility, the environment and the consumer.

AN INCREASE in parking charges at carparks across the city has been slammed by readers. The Argus asked its readers whether they will be affected by the changes to on-street paid parking and council-run car parking charges that came into force yesterday. The changes mean it will cost more to park in many areas of the city and a number will have parking operating times extended. Parking charges at car parks have risen by an average of between 10 and 15 per cent. Facebook user Shaun Bellinger said: “Yet another nail in the coffin of Brighton retailers and restaurateurs. “Given the pandemic and lockdowns/shutdown that these businesses have suffered, this is a ridiculous decision.”
