How Heat Pumps Are Different

Heat pumps are both versatile and efficient because as one system, they can serve as both heater and cooler in your home. You don’t require separate equipment for your heating and cooling needs. Heat pumps can switch back and forth to serve both, depending on the need. They are different than a traditional forced-air heating system in that they operate like an air conditioner, transferring heat from one location to another.

When it comes to heating your home, heat pumps transfer the heat from outdoors to indoors. Contrast this to the traditional forced-air heating system that uses fossil energy to create heat and then circulates that throughout your home.

When you want your home cooled, heat pumps work in reverse by transferring the warm air from inside your home to the outdoors, leaving you with only the cool air inside.
