A heat pump is an energy-efficient heating system that transfers heat from a low-temperature source—such as the air, ground, or water—into your home. There are several types of heat pumps, including air-to-water, water-to-air, and ground-to-water systems. Despite their differences, they all operate on the same basic principle, similar to how a refrigerator works.
The heat pump extracts heat from the external source and passes it through a compressor. This process increases the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant, effectively boosting the heat energy. The heated refrigerant then flows through a heat exchanger, where the heat is distributed throughout the home.
Heat pumps are highly efficient, delivering significantly more heat energy than the electrical energy they consume. Because they produce lower carbon emissions compared to traditional heating systems, governments and energy organizations are actively promoting their adoption through awareness campaigns and incentive programs.
