❄️ What Is a Heat Pump?
A heat pump is a heating and cooling system that moves heat instead of generating it. Think of it like a two-way air conditioner:
- In summer, it works like a traditional AC—removing warm air from inside and sending it outdoors.
- In winter, it reverses—pulling heat from outside air (yes, even cold air!) and bringing it inside.

🔧 How Does It Work?
Here’s a basic breakdown:
- Refrigerant Cycle: A special fluid called refrigerant absorbs and releases heat as it circulates.
- Compressor: It pressurizes the refrigerant to raise its temperature.
- Heat Exchangers: These transfer heat from outside air to the inside air (or vice versa).
- Reversing Valve: Allows the system to switch from heating to cooling mode.
