TURN UP THE HEAT PUMP UP THE SAVINGS THE BASICS A heat pump is a closed circuit that moves heat ELECTRIC ENG INE from one place to another. HEAT OUT COMPRESSOR HEAT IN EXPANSION VALVE CONDENSER EVAPORATOR When cooling, the heat pump's reverse valve is activated so warm air A fan pulls heat into the evaporator from its source (air, water, ground).
