Heat pumps are highly efficient machines that can both heat and cool spaces using electricity and refrigerants. They are considered a key climate solution due to their ability to reduce gas usage in homes, powered increasingly by renewables. Governments worldwide incentivize their installation to slash planet-heating fossil fuel use in buildings. Despite being more expensive upfront, heat pumps save money over time by reducing gas consumption. However, they require proper maintenance to prevent refrigerant leaks with ongoing research for more environmentally friendly alternatives.
