Facts:

• Using electricity as its energy source, heat pumps are used for either the heating or cooling of your house by transferring the heat between the condenser and evaporator through the refrigerant.
• In warmer months, the heat pump becomes the air conditioner, removing heat from the air inside your home and transferring it to the condenser exhausting into the air.
• During the colder months, heat from the ambient air is extracted and transferred inside  your home. It's true, at 32° Fahrenheit there can be enough heat extracted to warm your home using a heat pump.

Benefits:

• Your heat pump can be energy-efficient, and maintain the indoor comfort for moderate climates.  A  heat pump system helps maintain comfortable temperatures inside your home while  reducing the humidity levels. Homes located in regions with severe cold temperatures will require supplemental heating of some sort.
• A heat pump helps with the IAQ. As your heat pump system draws air through returns in rooms, the air is pulled through an air filter, which removes airborne particles such as dust and lint. a more sophisticated filters may remove microscopic pollutants, as well. The filtered air is then pushed to air supply ductwork that carries it back to rooms. When the heat pump is running, it's constantly filtering and cleaning the air in your home.
• With quieter operations, the condenser unit which houses the compressor and condenser fan is located outside the home, the air handler noise level from its operation is much lower than that of a free-standing air conditioning unit.
