Learn about Heat Pump Systems: How They Work and Their Benefits

Heat pumps are an energy efficient alternative to traditional HVAC systems for heating and cooling homes. They transfer existing heat rather than generate new heat. Air-source heat pumps use outside air and ground-source pumps use underground pipes. Heat pumps provide heating, cooling, energy savings, zone control, and environmental benefits in one integrated system. Proper sizing and installation by an HVAC technician ensures optimal efficiency and performance.
