What is a Heat Pump?

A Heat Pump is a high-tech energy saving device which provides year-round comfort. This one system heats in the winter and cools in the summer.

In summer, the Heat-Pump operates as a conventional air conditioner to cool your home. In the winter, the system is reversed and the Heat Pump actually gathers heat already in the outside air and “pumps” it indoors to your home.

A Heat Pump consists of two units. The outdoor unit contains the compressor, outdoor coil and fan, just like your existing central air conditioner. The indoor unit resembles a warm air furnace and contains a coil, blower, supplemental heaters and air filter. A wall thermostat automatically controls the air temperature in the home.

What makes the Heat Pump such a unique, energy saving system for home heating is that it does not create heat, like a common furnace. Heat Pumps “capture” and utilize existing heat enabling the system to deliver two or more units of heat for each unit of energy needed to operate the unit.
