This buying guide will walk you through how a Daikin heat pump works, the benefits of choosing one for your home, and why our HVAC contractors are trusted throughout Oakville, Ontario.
What is a Heat Pump and How Does it Work?
A heat pump is a versatile HVAC system that provides both heating and cooling by transferring heat energy between the indoors and outdoors. In the winter, the system absorbs heat from the outside air (even in cold climates) and transfers it indoors to warm your home. In the summer, the process reverses—pushing indoor heat outside and keeping your home cool like a traditional air conditioner.
Unlike a gas furnace that burns fuel, Daikin heat pumps provide energy-efficient heating and cooling by moving heat instead of generating it, reducing energy consumption and lowering monthly utility bills.
Why Choose a Daikin Heat Pump?
