A heat pump uses the same cycle that air conditioning systems use to reverse heating and cooling. It works by drawing in outdoor air, then extracting heat energy from it using a refrigerant similar to that used in air conditioners. A new heat pump installation requires some preparation in order for it to operate safely and efficiently, especially for homes that have never used one before. When installing a ducted system, your contractor will inspect the existing ductwork to make sure it can accommodate the new system's airflow. They'll also look for any leaks or other issues which could potentially hinder its performance. They'll also guarantee that the ductwork is large enough for the new heat pump and adequately insulated.
