What is a reverse heating system and how does it work?

Reverse heating systems serve two roles. During the winter, a reverse heating system collects air from outside the home, compresses it, and distributes it inside your home as hot air. During summer, the reverse happens – the system pushes warm air out of your home, replacing it with cooler air.

The system works by channeling warm air into a heat pump. The pump uses a refrigerant to compress and heat the air. It is then transferred to the pump’s heating coil and fanned into your house.

Are there different types of reverse heating systems?

Yes – several, in fact:

  • Split systems utilize two separate units – an outdoor compressor paired with other components on the inside of the house
  • Duct systems employ a series of ducts to distribute air throughout the home
  • Single room systems are designed to heat a room rather than an entire house

What are some of the benefits of reverse heating systems?

  • Reverse heating systems are extremely energy-efficient. This can result in greatly reduced energy bills.
  • The systems are considered very environmentally-friendly.
  • They tend to be long-lasting.
  • They are all-in-one systems that can both heat or cool a home depending on the time of year.
Some things to look for in a reverse heating system:
  • Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) rating of 14 or above
  • Heating Seasonal Performance Factor of 7.7 or above
