Doubts about whether heat pumps work well in subzero conditions shown to be unfounded, say researchers

    Yeah, for some reason we renamed them to heat pump.

    I suppose they can also be used to slowly heat water as well as the air, which is the main difference.

      I like “heat pump”. It’s a very nice ELI5 name. It’s a pump for heat. A water pump takes water and forces it to where it wouldn’t go naturally. A heat pump does the same.
