Interesting, it never occurred to me that that might be the case. What other methods are there (besides the obvious resistive heating), and is there some way to check what method my AC uses?
I still would assume all new AC units here function as heat pumps, isn’t it just the cheapest solution to manufacture? Keep in mind that it never goes below freezing so there’s no need to deal with frost and ice.
A Heat Pump isn’t just a “bog-standard” feature especially if it’s older than 10 years old.
There are many ways Central Air can heat the air in a home. A Heat Pump is only one of them.
