A. A traditional air conditioner uses your compressor and refrigerant to remove heat from your home and add cool air to the livable areas, and uses a second device such as heat strips or a gas furnace to heat the inside areas. A heat pump basically runs the refrigerant the opposite direction in heating to create heat in your air handler which in turn is blown into the home.
