A heat pump uses a compressor and uses the waste heat from the compression process to provide heat for your home.

I hope no one reading this believes that malarky.

Amazing how that "waste heat" provides cooling, too.

A heat pumo uses a compressor to compress freon (or similar gas). The byproduct of compression is heat and it has to go somewhere. A heat pump captures the “heat byproduct” and passes it thru a heat exchanger to heat your home. To cool - the compressed gas is expanded (physics) and cooled and then passed thru a heat exchanger. Go back to school and take physics 101 before you call my explanation malarky...red
