How Heat Pumps Work

How heat pumps work

Heat pumps get their name because they transfer heat energy from a lower-temperature source to a higher-temperature space, effectively "pumping" heat against its natural flow.

Inverter heat pumps

Instead of just turning on and off at a fixed, full output, inverter heat pumps use inverter compressors so the heat pump can operate at variable speeds.

Heat pumps versus conventional gas furnaces

While a gas furnace uses a fuel source to generate heat through electricity or a chemical reaction, a heat pump uses refrigerant to absorb heat from one side of the system and expel it from the other.

The difference between types of heat pumps

While a fixed-speed heat pump has “on” and “off,” an inverter heat pump operates only as much as necessary, without over-conditioning the space or consuming excessive energy.

Efficiency. Durability.

Inverter heat pumps have benefits beyond providing temperature control quickly. They can provide you with energy saving benefits, help reduce your carbon footprint, and ultimately make your home a more comfortable place.
