What Is a Heat Pump and What Does It Do?
A heat pump is an HVAC system that moves heat rather than generating it. A heat pump works by pulling heat from outdoor air, even if it is chilly, and transfers this heat indoors. When it is warmer outside, the unit pulls heat from inside and transfers it outdoors. This is accomplished using refrigerant without burning any fossil fuels.
Because it only uses electricity to transfer heat, not create it, it uses less energy consumption than systems that burn fuel. That leads to lower utility bills, long-term energy savings, and cleaner air quality. This is especially valuable in mild climates like Southern California, where extreme temperatures are rare.
Components of a Heat Pump System
A heat pump system contains an outdoor unit similar to the condenser unit in an air conditioning system. It also acts as an evaporator when the system is in heating mode. The indoor unit contains a coil and a fan for moving air. Refrigerant circulates while absorbing and releasing heat, and is pressurized by a compressor. The pump uses a reversing valve to change the direction of refrigerant and switch between heating and cooling modes.

Common Types of Heat Pumps
Most systems fall into one of three types:
- Air-Source Heat Pumps: Standard for homes. They transfer heat between indoor and outdoor air, with no need for underground elements.
- Geothermal Heat Pumps: Also called ground-source heat pumps, these use steady underground temps to be more energy efficient.
- Water-Source Heat Pumps: Use nearby water as a heat source in specific properties.
Each supports reliable climate control and strong energy savings in the right environment.

Is a Heat Pump Right for Your Home or Business?
Location and climate are the main factors in whether you’ll benefit from a heat pump. This type of system is most effective in areas where the outdoor temperature rarely drops below freezing. But just because your area gets cold in the winter doesn’t mean you can’t benefit. A heat pump can also be combined with other systems that produce heat when it gets too cold.
A heat pump is also a great alternative to an air conditioner if you’re looking for ways to save. The long-term energy savings offset the cost of initial installation.
