Think of a heat pump as an air conditioner that can work in both directions. In summer it pulls heat out of your home; in winter a reversing valve flips the refrigerant flow, and the same compressor draws heat from the outdoor air and brings it inside. Because it moves heat instead of creating it, a heat pump can deliver two to three times more heat energy than the electricity it uses, which is a big reason homeowners in Simi Valley, CA are making the switch as older systems wear out. Today's cold-climate models, built around variable-speed inverter compressors, keep producing useful heat well below freezing, far beyond the heat pumps of twenty years ago.
