What is heat pumps?

Heat pumps are devices that transfer heat from one place to another, typically from outside a building to inside (heating) or from inside to outside (cooling). They work by circulating a refrigerant through a cycle of evaporation and condensation. They are commonly used for space heating and cooling, and water heating, offering an energy-efficient alternative to traditional furnaces and air conditioners.
