What is a Heat Pump?

A heat pump is a refrigeration circuit that is used to move heat from one location to another. A heat source (air, water or earth) is used to evaporate the refrigerant, a compressor concentrates and moves it to another location and releases it. It’s like an air conditioner that can run in reverse to cool in summer and heat in winter.
