How Does a Heat
Pump Actually Work?

Unlike a furnace that creates heat by burning gas, a heat pump moves heat from one place to another — making it incredibly efficient. In winter, it extracts heat from outdoor air and moves it inside. In summer, it works in reverse like an air conditioner.

Coefficient of Performance

A furnace converts 1 unit of gas into ~0.95 units of heat. A heat pump converts 1 unit of electricity into up to 4 units of heat — up to 400% efficiency!

01

Extract Heat From Air

Outdoor coils absorb heat energy from the outside air — even when it's -25°C!

02

Compress the Refrigerant

Compressing the refrigerant raises its temperature significantly before transferring heat indoors.

03

Release Heat Indoors

Indoor coils release the warm air into your home through your duct system or air handlers.

04

Reverses for Cooling

In summer, the cycle reverses — extracting heat from inside your home and releasing it outdoors.
