What is a Heat Pump?

Heat pumps move heat in and out of a building—much like an air conditioner that can also run backwards to provide heating. Cold climate heat pumps can provide high-efficiency heating and hot water even when it’s well below zero outside. Heat pumps can be affordable alternatives to fossil fuel-based heating and hot water, while also providing cooling to improve home comfort. At 2-4 times as efficient as electric space and water heaters, heat pumps can save you thousands of kWh, and hundreds of dollars, every year. All of these benefits are achieved while greatly reducing harmful greenhouse gas emissions.
