What exactly is a Heat Pump...

Any heat pump system uses refrigerant to supply warm air in winter and cool air in summer and it is exactly like your air conditioner except that when it is in the heating mode it reverse the flow of refrigerant.

Millions are in use across the United States and are successfully heating homes even in the coldest of climates.

Heat pumps are growing in popularity today because of the higher natural gas and fuel oil costs as well as the increased chances of fuel shortages caused by turmoil in the middle east.

Homeowners are now getting much wiser and are seeking ways to reduce their heating and cooling costs and protect their pocketbook from world affairs.
