A heat pump is a device that transfers heat from one place to another, using a small amount of energy. It can both heat and cool spaces by moving heat indoors during winter and outdoors during summer. This makes it an efficient alternative to traditional heating and cooling systems, as it can provide the same comfort with less energy consumption.
Heat pumps work by circulating a refrigerant through a closed loop system. In heating mode, the refrigerant absorbs heat from the outside air or ground and releases it indoors. In cooling mode, the process is reversed, removing heat from the indoor air and releasing it outside. This versatility makes heat pumps popular for residential and commercial heating and cooling needs.
