Home Improvement Training - Heat Pump Technology | This Old House

Heath pumps have been around for a long time, but the technology traditionally has limited usefulness in warm or moderate climates. Our plumbing and heating expert, Richard Trethewey, talks with Saratoga project plumber Joel Schaperjahn about the heat pump technology that will serve the Saratoga home's heating and cooling needs. The two review the basic concepts that govern heat pumps, examine a traditional system, and then explore the new trends that make it a viable option in colder climates like upstate New York.
