An electric heat pump is one way to heat a building. It works a lot like air conditioning but in reverse: The hot air goes indoors; the cold air goes outdoors.

Heat pumps are more energy-efficient than electric heaters.^{[QUANTIFICATION needed]}

Research needed for this page

How much more energy-efficient can a heat pump be?
- How does this depend on outdoor temperature?
How much energy does it typically take to manufacture and install a heat pump?
Do heat pumps involve any rare minerals or pollutant gases? To what extent is this a concern?
