How Heat Pumps Work
Heat pumps work by transferring heat from one location to another, not by generating it. During winter in Cambridge, the system provides warmth by drawing energy from the air or, in some instances, from underground. During the summer, the system can transfer heat out of your home, creating a cooler interior.
There are various types of heat pumps, including compression heat pumps, which typically use electricity as their mechanical power source. Absorption heat pumps can utilize electricity or fuels like natural gas or liquified petroleum gas. Heat pumps can extract heat from outdoor air through ducts or mini-splits, the ground, exhaust air, or water sources, while hybrid heat pumps switch between ground and air sources based on the surrounding temperatures.
