Everything You Need To Know About Heat Pumps
What Is a Heat Pump?
A heat pump is a ductless system made up of one outdoor unit and one or more indoor units that work together to efficiently cool your home or provide supplemental heating. They work by moving warm air from one location to another, usually by extracting air from outside and compressing it to raise or lower the temperature to a comfortable level. These systems do not require ductwork, and the indoor units can be affixed to any interior wall. You can easily switch from cooling to heating and control the temperature in each room with zoned comfort.
