What Makes a Heat Pump Different?

Unlike a gas furnace or a central air system, a heat pump offers both heating and cooling year–round. But it works essentially like an air conditioner. It uses a refrigerant cycle to transfer thermal energy from one area to another, depending on the season.

What makes a heat pump distinctive is that it has a reversing valve, which means that it not only brings heat into your home from the ambient air during the winter, but also removes heat from your home during the summer. This versatility makes it a popular option for many homeowners.
