In winter, a heat pump operates by extracting heat from the outside air and transferring it indoors to warm your living space. Utilizing a refrigeration cycle, the heat pump’s outdoor unit absorbs thermal energy from the air, and through compression, raises its temperature. The heated refrigerant is then circulated to the indoor unit, where a fan disperses the warmth throughout your home. This process is efficient because it doesn’t generate heat; it simply moves existing heat from one place to another, making it an environmentally friendly and cost-effective heating solution for colder months.
