How Does a Heat Pump Work?

A heat pump functions similarly to an air conditioner:

  • In cooling mode, it can absorb heat from your home using a refrigerant inside the evaporator coil. Then, that heat is transferred to the condenser coil and released outside as the refrigerant is cooled.
  • In heating mode, the cycle runs in reverse, extracting heat from the outdoor air and bringing it inside.

Heat pumps offer efficient heating and cooling using only electricity and are ideal for homes without gas service. They can also be paired with a gas furnace to create a dual-fuel HVAC system that provides optimal comfort and energy efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Modern heat pumps are designed to operate effectively even in low temperatures.

Heat pumps use refrigerant to absorb heat from cold air. Heat energy is transferred to a low-pressure, low-temperature liquid refrigerant in the outdoor unit.

The liquid is converted to gas, and the low-temperature gas refrigerant goes through the compressor. This raises the temperature and pressure and passes it to the indoor coil, where the warm air is then distributed in your home.

Heat pumps are energy-efficient to shrink your carbon footprint. They’re also compatible with renewable energy sources and don’t produce harmful pollutants like carbon monoxide.

Heat pumps are generally quiet, producing 40 to 60 decibels, which is comparable to the noise a refrigerator makes.

When properly maintained, a heat pump can last between 15 and 20 years.
