WHAT IS A HEAT PUMP? A heat pump is a complete air conditioning and heating system in one that keeps you comfortable through every season. 515-257-8370 HOW DOES A HEAT PUMP WORK? Heat pumps work by moving heat from one place to another. Depending on the type, this could mean pumping warm air from inside a building to the outside air or pulling heat from the ground and into the building. Cooling Mode In the summer, a heat pump works like an air conditioner by extracting heat from the air inside the home and transferring to the air outside. Heating Mode During the winter, there’s still some heat in the outside air even when it feels cold to us. A heat pump pulls this heat out of the air and moves it inside. In mild climates, the outside air may provide enough heat to keep a house warm all winter. In Iowa and other middle and northern U.S. states, supplemental heat may be required on extremely cold days. In these cases, an electric heater provides heat. Heat pumps are so efficient that this process generates 2 or 3 times more heat than the electricity it uses. TYPES OF HEAT PUMPS Standard or Air Source Heat Pumps Standard heat pumps transfer heat to and from the outside air. They use the same refrigerant as air conditioners for this process. Geothermal or Ground Source Heat Pumps Geothermal heat pumps transfer heat to and from the ground, below the frost line.
