Heat pumps work in the same way as standard air conditioners, except they can move heat in two directions, rather than one. An air conditioner can only absorb heat from inside a home, lowering the temperature, and then exhaust the heat outside. But a heat pump can also absorb heat from outside a home and then exhaust it indoors, raising the temperature.
But this immediately brings up a question: How effectively can a heat pump work during cold weather if it takes heat from outside while in heating mode?
