How do heat pumps generate heat?

Heat pumps work by extracting latent heat from the air, ground or water and then raising its temperature using a compressor. The most common type of heat pump is an air source one followed by ground and water heat pumps. Heat pumps can run in reverse mode and remote heat from the air and a building. Heat pumps are very energy efficient and can extract heat from temperatures as low as -15°C.
