Heat Pump Systems: What They Are & How They Work

A heat pump transfers heat from one place to another and can both heat and cool a space. It operates by moving heat rather than generating it, making heat pumps a highly energy-efficient option for regulating indoor temperatures.  Using electricity, it provides consistent comfort while reducing energy consumption and lowering utility costs.
