How a Heat Pump Works
Heat pumps are a versatile technology used for heating and cooling in many Canadian homes and around the world. They work similarly to your refrigerator or air conditioner, transferring heat from one place to another.
Heat Pump: A Simple Illustration
Here is a simple illustration to help you better understand how a heat pump works.
Imagine rolling a ball downhill. The ball will naturally roll from high (the top of the hill) to low (the bottom of the hill), requiring no effort. Going uphill, however, requires work against the natural flow. You need to use energy to roll that ball back up the hill.
Heat pumps work in a similar way. They use electricity to move heat against its natural flow, from a cooler place (source) to a warmer place (sink).
In winter: the heat pump extracts heat from the outdoors (cooler source) and transfers it to your home (warmer sink), keeping you warm.
In summer: the process reverses, removing heat from your home (warmer source) and releasing it outside (cooler sink), keeping you cool.
This reversible nature makes heat pumps a flexible and efficient way to maintain year-round comfort in your home.
