What is an air-to-air heat pump?
An air-to-air heat pump is a type of heat pump that allows you to both heat and cool your indoor space. So it's similar to a air conditioning system, but with more options. This type of heat pump is mainly known in the form of a monoblock air conditioning system: An air conditioning system in which there is no outdoor unit. It is very popular because of its cost effectiveness and relative simplicity of installation.
How does an air-to-air heat pump work?
When an air-to-air heat pump heats a room, it draws in indoor air using a fan. A compressor located inside the unit compresses the refrigerant gas, raising its temperature. This heated gas then passes through a heat exchanger, transferring the heat to the air. This heated air is blown into the room, and this is repeated until when the room is at the desired temperature. Cooling a room proceeds in just the opposite manner.
