What is a Heat Pump and How Does it Work?
Understanding the functions of a heat pump is a bit technical but don’t worry – we’re here to break it down for you! A heat pump functions as both an efficient heating and cooling system and is installed on the outside of your residential or commercial building. Using a refrigerant, the heat pump can pull both cold and warm air from outside providing your home with desired temperatures. Even in the winter, the heat pump has the ability to find heat even on the coldest of days, keeping you and your family warm.
Heat Pump vs Furnace vs Air Conditioner
Have you ever wondered what the difference is between an air conditioner, heat pump, and a furnace?
What differentiates a heat pump from both a furnace and air conditioning unit, is that it functions as both a heating and cooling system in one piece of machinery. In the summertime, heat pumps and air conditioners function as the same thing. They both use compressed refrigerant to extract heat and transfer it into cold air. The difference in the wintertime is that the heat pump can also warm up your home from pulling warmer air from outside, unlike an air conditioning unit.
Now, the difference between a heat pump and a furnace is pretty straightforward. A furnace operates through a heating cycle using either electricity or gas and is dispersed throughout your residential or commercial building. Heat pumps use renewable energy which can help you save some money on utilities since it is a single unit providing both efficient heating and cooling.
