What is the difference between a heat pump and a traditional HVAC system?

A heat pump is part of a home heating and cooling system and is installed outside your home. Like a central air conditioner, it can cool your home, but it’s also capable of providing heat. It works by transferring heat in and out of your Athens, PA home, making it more energy-efficient in mild climates. A traditional HVAC system typically includes a furnace for heating and an air conditioner for cooling.
