Heat pumps provide an energy-efficient alternative to air conditioners and furnaces in all the climates, such as refrigerators and heat pumps require electricity for transferring the heat from a cool space to a warm space, keeping a cool space cooler, and a warm space warmer. 
In the summer season, the heat pumps transfer heat from the cool outdoors to make the house warm. The heat pumps transfer heat instead of generating heat, as heat pumps can efficiently offer comfortable temperatures for the home. 

The heat pump industry has garnered $53,821.2 million revenue in 2021, and it is projected to generate $105,462.1 million, advancing at a rate of 7.8% in the coming years. 

Ducted Air-Source Heat Pumps: There are majorly three types of heat pumps connected to ducts. It includes air-to-air, geothermal, and, water sources. These pumps collect the heat from the ground, air, water, or outside the home, and focus on using it inside the home. 

Air-Source Heat Pump: The air-source heat pump transfers the heat between the house and outside air. Presently, a heat pump can contribute to decreasing electricity consumption by 50% for heating, compared to baseboard heaters and furnaces. 

High-Efficiency Heat Pumps: These pumps offer better dehumidification compared to standard central air conditioners, which results in less consumption of energy, and more cooling in summer months. The advanced air-source heat pump technology provides legitimate space for heating solutions in colder regions. 

Ductless Air-Source Heat Pumps: These pumps are suitable for home usage. The air-source heat pumps without ducts are also known as a mini-split heat pump. In addition, a specific air-source heat pump is also known as a reverse cycle chiller. It generates hot and cold water instead of air, enabling it to be used in heating mode with the radiant floor heating systems.
