How Does a Heat Pump Work?

A heat pump works by moving warm air inside or out using liquid refrigerant that circulates through the indoor coil and the outdoor compressor. In the summer, it absorbs heat from inside your home and moves it outside while returning cooled air back into your home. 

In the cooler months, reversing the direction of the refrigerant makes the heat pump draw its heat from outside the home and move the warmed air into your home.  

A heat pump can reduce the amount of electricity needed to heat your home by about 50%.

Energy Saving Benefits of a Heat Pump

Don’t let the name fool you – a heat pump is one of the most energy- and cost-efficient ways to cool your home. It heats and cools your home the same way, by moving heat from one place to another. And it can save you money on your energy bills in a big way. If you need to replace your AC in Ann Arbor, a heat pump may be what you’re looking for.

With the advancement of compressor technology, a cold climate heat pump can operate down to -15F. This makes Michigan a perfect place to install a heat pump as sole source of heat or as a hybrid system working with a new high efficiency furnace. If the temperature were to get too low for the heat pump to run efficiently, the dual-fuel system can switch over to the standard furnace for the duration of the cold snap. It’s more energy-efficient than a standalone furnace, saving you energy costs in the long run.
