Heat Pump Repair in Orlando, FL

What Is a Heat Pump (And Why Orlando Homes Use Them)?

A heat pump is an HVAC system that provides both:

• Air conditioning (cooling)

• Heating

Instead of creating heat like a furnace, a heat pump moves heat using refrigerant and key components like:

• compressor

• evaporator coil

• condenser coil

• reversing valve

• blower motor

• thermostat and control board

Because Orlando has mild winters and long cooling seasons, heat pumps are a popular and efficient choice for year round comfort.
