text: Remember, heat pumps "pump" heat from a cold outdoor environment, into a warm indoor environment, and against the natural heat laws of thermodynamics which state that naturally heat flows from something that is hot, to something that is cold, in order to equalize temperature.
text: Remember, heat pumps and air conditioners move heat from a low temperature area, and pump this heat "uphill" to a high temperature area, and against the laws of thermodynamics (Heat Laws), which says that naturally heat flows from something that is hot, to something that is cold.
text: Think of air conditioners as heat pumps that can only pump heat in one direction—from the inside to the outside.
text: Heat pumps are machines that can pump heat in both directions—from the inside to the outside (cooling) and from the outside to the inside (heating).
text: Heat pumps don't work so well when it's really cold outside because they pump heat from the outside air into the house.
text: That piece is called the reversing valve, and it's what allows a heat pump to pump heat in both directions.
