What Is a Heat Pump?

A heat pump is an HVAC system that uses air ducts to distribute heated or cooled air throughout a home, though ductless mini-splits can also use the same technology. During the summer season, the system acts just like a central AC. Refrigerant absorbs heat from the air in your home, which is then vented outdoors. 

During the winter, though, the heat pump uses a reversing valve to reverse its refrigerant cycle. In doing so, it is able to absorb ambient heat from the air outdoors, further compress the warm refrigerant in the compressor, and then transfer that heat to the air for distribution throughout the household.

Benefits of Heat Pumps

A heat pump offers one of the most efficient heating performances possible. Because existing heat from the outside air is used in the process, a heat pump requires only a small amount of electricity to heat a home. This will be reflected in your heating costs. Because our winters are rather mild, you also won’t have to worry about your heat pump being overwhelmed by extremely cold temperatures.
