Frequently Asked Questions about Heat Pumps
What is a heat pump?
A heat pump is a part of a heating and cooling system. It operates similarly to an air conditioner to cool your home, but also provides heating. Heat pumps are a sustainable alternative to traditional heating and cooling. They are powered by electricity instead of fossil fuels.
How does a heat pump work?
Heat pumps do not generate heat; they redistribute it. To heat a home or building, heat pumps use heat from the air outside or surrounding ground and transfer it indoors. To cool a home or building, a heat pump absorbs the heat from inside and transfers it outside. Heat pumps are powered by electricity instead of fossil fuels.
Can heat pumps function in cold weather?
Winter weather often still provides a certain amount of heat in the air outside making it possible for heat pumps to warm a home or building. The extracted heat and pressurized gas raise the temperature.
What types of heat pumps are available?
- Air-source heat pumps, the most used type, transfer heat between a house and the outside air. These types of heat pumps can more efficiently dehumidify a space when compared to a traditional air conditioner. The result is less energy use. For homes without air ducts, air-source heat pumps are also available in a ductless version.
- Water-source heat pumps efficiently extract heat from water instead of air. This type of heat pump is often used in high-rise buildings and can be installed above a ceiling or in a closet.
- Geothermal heat pumps transfer heat from the ground surrounding your home. This type of heat pump can be used in various types of climates due to relatively constant ground temperatures.
