Heat Pump and How They Work
A heat pump is a key component of a home’s heating and cooling system, typically located outside the house. Similar to a central air conditioner, it can both cool and heat your home. During colder seasons, it extracts heat from the outdoor air and brings it indoors, while in warmer seasons, it removes heat from the inside to cool the space. Powered by electricity and utilizing refrigerants, heat pumps ensure year-round comfort without the need for separate heating systems. In colder regions, an electric heat strip can be integrated into the indoor Air Handler for enhanced heating capabilities. Unlike furnaces, heat pumps do not rely on burning fossil fuels, making them a more eco-friendly heating and cooling option.
