Heat Pumps
A heat pump (an outside unit) has refrigerant lines that help control the flow of hot and cold air. In the heat of the summer, the refrigerant pulls heat from inside your home and moves it outside. In the cold winter months, the system pulls heat from outside and moves it inside. The heat pump uses refrigerants and coolants to shift heat energy. A heat pump can both heat and cool your home. An air conditioner only serves to cool the home.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a furnace and a heat pump?
Both furnaces and heat pumps are used to keep your home warm. Furnaces are some of the oldest heating devices still used to keep residential homes warm. They convert a fuel source, such as natural gas, oil, electricity, or induction, into heat.
Heat pumps are part of a central heating and cooling system. They use electricity or natural gas and refrigerant to convert heat from outside air inside your home to keep it warm in the winter and remove hot air from inside your home to keep it cool in the summer.
