What is the principle behind a heat pump?
A heat pump uses the basic principles of refrigeration. Just like your refrigerator at home, a geothermal heat pump removes and transfers heat from one location and expels the energy to another location. A refrigerator’s heat pump removes heat from inside the refrigerator box and transfers this energy out of the back of your refrigerator and into your home using a series of black coils mounted on the back. The refrigerant in the system is the transfer agent. A geothermal heat pump air conditions the building by removing the heat from inside the building and expelling it into the ground.
