A heat pump is a climate control device that extracts heat from one source and transfers it to another location, serving both heating and cooling purposes. It operates on the principles of vapor-compression or absorption refrigeration cycles, utilizing energy-efficient technology to condition interior spaces.
Heat pumps are commonly used in residential and commercial buildings as an alternative to traditional furnaces and air conditioning systems due to their energy efficiency and reduced environmental impact.
