      <image:caption>The simplest way to understand a heat pump is that it works exactly like your refrigerator, but it can run in reverse. It utilizes the principles of refrigeration to transfer thermal energy from one place to another.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Even in sub-freezing air, thermal energy is hiding. Your outdoor coil acts as a heat sponge, using low-pressure refrigerant to soak up latent energy before the compressor squeezes it into high-grade warmth for your living room.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Your indoor unit "steals" the heat from your living room, hitches it to a refrigerant transport, and uses the outdoor unit to dump that energy outside. By exporting the heat rather than fighting it, your home stays cool without the heavy energy lift of a traditional system.</image:caption>
