What Is a Heat Pump, and Does It Heat and Cool?

Heat Pumps & Mini-Splits · Article 24 of 25

Quick answer: A heat pump transfers heat.

Understanding the issue

A heat pump transfers heat. In cooling mode it moves heat out of your home; in heating mode it moves heat indoors. This lets one system provide both functions, although equipment design and installation determine its capabilities.

What homeowners can do

Some systems include supplemental heat, and controls determine when it operates. Tell your technician whether a concern occurs in cooling, heating, or both. A system that performs well in one mode can still have a problem in the other.
