Heat Pumps Provide Heat When it is Chilly...
Because refrigerant is
naturally much colder than outdoor temperatures
even on a very cold day, it actually absorbs heat
from outdoors, and transfers the heat it absorbed
outside to within your home. The refrigerant's
physical properties do this naturally. What you
pay for is the electricity to pump refrigerant via
copper tubing from outdoors to indoors. Because we
move the heat rather than create it (as electric
baseboard or resistant heat does), we can deliver
up to 4 times the heat for the energy we consume!

Air Conditioners Provide Cooling When It’s
Warm.
Come spring and summer, simply reverse the
process and put the same system into "cooling
mode" and transfer heat from indoors to the
outside. For many climates, the advanced
technology that goes into these units creates a
far more cost effective alternative to either gas
or oil-fired units for heat, or a central ducted
system for air conditioning. Fujitsu’s mini-splits
come in both cooling-only models or heat pumps,
which provide both heating and cooling.
