What Is a Heat Pump and How Does It Work?

A heat pump is a versatile heating and cooling system that transfers heat instead of generating it, making it an energy-efficient option for year-round comfort.

  • In the Winter: The heat pump extracts heat from the outside air (even in cold weather) and transfers it indoors to warm your home.
  • In the Summer: It reverses the process, removing heat from your home and releasing it outside to keep your space cool.

Heat pumps are a popular choice in Richmond, VA, where moderate winters make them an efficient and effective solution for maintaining a comfortable indoor environment.
