What is Heat Pump?
A heat pump is an air conditioner that runs in both directions: in summer it moves heat out of your home like any AC, and in winter it reverses to extract heat from outdoor air and move it inside. One system replaces both the AC and the furnace, running entirely on electricity.
Why it matters in Arizona
Phoenix-area winters rarely drop below the range where heat pumps excel, so they heat Greater Phoenix homes very efficiently — no gas line required. Combined with current federal tax credits and utility rebates, they're the default recommendation for most desert replacements.
