How Do Heat Pumps Work?
Heat pumps transfer heat instead of generating it, providing energy-efficient heating and cooling. In heating mode, they draw warmth from the outside air—even in cold weather—and deliver it indoors. In cooling mode, they extract heat from inside and release it outdoors, making them a versatile, low-cost solution for year-round comfort.
Control Options
Modes and Controls
Heat pumps offer flexible operation with easy-to-use controls:
- Heating, Cooling, Auto and Fan modes
- Single mode runs across the system
- Adjustable fan speeds and airflow direction
- Wireless remotes, wall panels, and Wi-Fi options
Energy Saving
Smart Energy Features
Modern heat pumps are built for energy efficiency, helping reduce power bills without sacrificing comfort.
- Inverter technology for smooth operation
- Human Sensor reduces energy use
- Economy and Eco modes
- Programmable timers and schedules
Humidity Control
Humidity & Moisture Control
Cooling mode naturally reduces indoor humidity by extracting moisture from the air. Many models also feature a dedicated Dry mode for targeted humidity reduction without excessive cooling—keeping your home healthy and comfortable year-round.
What to Expect
About Defrost Cycles
In cold weather, heat pumps occasionally run a defrost cycle to clear frost from the outdoor unit. This is normal and ensures efficiency:
- Typically lasts around 5 minutes
- Heating pauses briefly
- Flashing LED or soft popping sounds may occur
- Resumes normal heating after defrost completes
