A heat pump looks no different than a standard outdoor air conditioning unit. A heat pump performs the same job as an air conditioner in the summer; extracting heat from the indoor air using refrigerant and transferring it outside the home. In the winter a heat pump simply reverses this process and captures the heat in the air outside, then releases it inside It may be cold outside , but even cold air still contains plenty of heat. Whether you are in the market to replace your existing unit, a heat pump can be a great option. Give us a call to get more information- 785-341-4193.
