What is a Heat Pump?Â
Heat Pumps are an energy efficient way to cool your home in the summer and heat it in the winter with the same system.Â
Unlike a furnace, a heat pump doesn't burn fuel to make heat. It simply uses electricity to move heat from one place to another.

How Heat Pumps WorkÂ
Heat pumps work by transferring heat from one place to another using a refrigeration cycle. In heating mode, they extract warmth from the outside and release it inside, while in cooling mode, the process is reversed. This efficient method helps regulate temperatures with less energy consumption than traditional systems.
During the summer months, the heat pump pulls heat out of the house, allowing super-cooled air to take the place of the heat. In the winter, the heat pump pulls heat out of the atmosphere and delivers it to the interior.Â
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a heat pump last?
- The lifespan of a heat pump can vary based on brand and model, but many heat pumps come with a parts warranty of 7 to 12 years. All ACiQ models come with a 10 year parts warranty and 20 year heat exchanger limited warranty.Â
What is the difference between a heat pump and a mini split?
- Heat pumps use the same technology as mini splits; however, they have been specially designed to work with ductwork. Whereas, mini splits have a line that runs from the outdoor condenser to the individual indoor air handlers, heat pumps are connected to your ductwork like a furnace.Â
