Image(s)

Technical Description

High efficiency air source heat pumps are built to save energy but are configured much like less efficient standard heat pumps. They include an outdoor unit and an indoor unit. The indoor unit typically ties into a home’s duct system to deliver warm or cool air throughout the house. Heat pumps take heat out of outdoor air to heat your home in winter. In summer the cycle is reversed; they pull heat out of your home and discharge it to the outdoors to cool your home.
