Trane Air Conditioner Heat Pump Information

Function

• A heat pump, unlike a furnace, does not burn fuel to make heat. It instead uses electricity to move heat from one area to another, making it a safer and more energy efficient way to cool your home in hot weather and heat it in cold.

How It Works

• The heat pump works by transferring warm air from the outside into the home in the winter months, and exchanges the warm air from inside the home with exterior air in the summer. Though it seems that warm air to be pumped into the house certainly wouldn't be found outdoors in the winter time or the opposite in the summer, the heat pumps technology uses heat energy and is able to acquire adequate temperature air from the atmosphere in order to raise or lower the temperature of your home.

Size Considerations

• When considering a heat pump, choose the proper size to accommodate your home adequately. To do so, contact a skilled and certified heat pump repair technician or HVAC contractor to assess your home's heating and cooling needs.
