What is a heat pump and how does it work?  The technology is fundamentally no different than that used in a refrigerator.  The primary advantage of heat pumps is that it is using electricity to move heat versus converting electricity directly to heat. Thus they can be up to four+ times more efficient than electric heat because they take advantage of “free” thermal (heat) energy.  Heat pumps do not utilize combustion, so no chimney or venting is required.  One disadvantage of heat pumps is that their efficiency is a function of outdoor (or ground) temperature. – Heating capacity and efficiency is lower with lower source temperature. – Coolingcapacityandefficiencyislowerwithhighersourcetemperatures. Both are refrigeration systems.
