A heat pump is a home comfort system that moves heat instead of making it. In winter it pulls heat from outdoors and brings it inside. In summer it runs in reverse and moves indoor heat outside. Because it transfers heat rather than generating it, it can be very efficient.
Think about a refrigerator. A fridge moves heat out of the box to keep food cold. A heat pump is a reversible refrigerator for your house. In cooling, it moves heat from indoors to outdoors. In heating, it flips and moves outdoor heat indoors.
In cooling mode, the indoor coil absorbs heat from your rooms and the outdoor coil releases it outside. In heating mode, the outdoor coil absorbs heat from outside air and the indoor coil releases it indoors. Refrigerant carries the heat between the two coils through sealed lines. The compressor raises the refrigerant’s pressure and temperature so the transfer is effective, and the indoor blower moves air across the coil. A reversing valve switches the direction for heating or cooling.
Most homes have one outdoor unit and an indoor coil with a blower that connects to ducts. Homes without ducts can use wall-mounted mini splits. The system runs on electricity and uses the same hardware all year.
Yes. Ducted heat pumps use a return air filter just like a furnace. The filter protects the blower and indoor coil and helps reduce dust and allergens. Use the exact size your system is built for and follow the unit label for installation. Check monthly and replace about every 1 to 3 months based on use.

A heat pump is a home system that moves heat instead of making it. It heats in winter and cools in summer with the same unit.
It circulates refrigerant between an outdoor unit and an indoor coil. A compressor and a reversing valve let it move heat in or out of the house.
Yes, modern models work in cold climates, though output drops as temperatures fall. Cold-climate models keep better performance.
A furnace makes heat by burning fuel or using electric heat strips. A heat pump moves existing heat and is often more efficient.
In summer it works like an AC. In winter it reverses to provide heating.
Yes. Ducted heat pumps use a return filter like a furnace to protect the blower and indoor coil and to help indoor air quality.
Use the exact size your system requires. Choose MERV 8 for standard dust, MERV 11 for pets or allergy concerns, or MERV 13 only if your system maintains healthy airflow.
Check monthly and replace about every 1 to 3 months. Change sooner with pets, heavy dust, or smoke events.
Costs depend on your local electric rates, climate, and settings. Many homes see savings because heat pumps move heat rather than make it.
Usually yes if the ducts are in good condition and sized for the airflow. A contractor can confirm and make any needed adjustments.
Many last 12 to 15 years or more with correct sizing, installation, and maintenance.
