What a heat pump is

A heat pump is an all‑electric system that moves heat instead of making it. It pulls heat from the outside air to warm your home in the winter and reverses in the summer to keep your home cool. It’s the same kind of engineering used by your fridge and A/C. Because it’s moving heat rather than burning fuel to create it, it’s remarkably energy-efficient and capable even in very cold weather.

Why people love them

Modern heat pump HVAC systems keep your home evenly comfortable, room-to-room, with precise temperature control. They dehumidify in summer, hold steady warmth in winter, and can be tailored to homes of all ages and sizes whether you use ducts, go ductless with mini-splits, or mix the two. Compared to traditional systems, they’re quieter, cleaner, and more efficient. Some models even pop into a window and can move with you to your next home.

Why more Americans are choosing heat pumps

U.S. households show a clear preference for heat pump HVAC systems. For the last three years (and counting), homeowners are buying more heat pumps than furnaces. Here are a few of the reasons why:

Efficiency

Heat pumps are up to 5x more efficient than gas furnaces or electric resistance systems, saving energy and reducing pollution.

Control

Heat pumps maintain steady, even temperatures instead of cycling on and off, and can be used to heat and cool in zones, room-by-room.

Health

Heat pump systems filter and dehumidify the air, helping to maintain optimal indoor air quality, no matter the time of year.
