\"\"Alright, so we’ve talked a lot about furnaces, the most popular home heating system on the market today.

That’s right: we’re talking about the heat pump!<\/p>\n

Let’s Talk About The Basics<\/h2>\n

So, what is a heat pump?<\/em><\/p>\n

A heat pump works much like a traditional air conditioner, relying on the flow of refrigerant to transfer heat from one place to another. But what makes the difference between a standard AC and a heat pump is the\u00a0reversing valve<\/strong>, which is used to reverse the direction the refrigerant flows through the system.<\/p>\n

Why?<\/i><\/p>\n
