Electric Heater Repair Katy TX
The most common central electric heater is a heat pump. They have two different functions in the summer and winter. In the winter, they heat the house. In the summer, they cool the house. There are several parts to a heat pump. Outside there is a unit called a compressor that extracts the heat (in the winter) from outdoors. The air moves through the condenser coils to the indoor heat exchanger, where the hot air is squeezed out of the cold air. An air handler (fan) blows the heat throughout the entire home. The cold air from the house is taken into the heat exchanger, which moves the cold air through the evaporator coils from inside the home to outside. In a heat pump, there is also a reversing valve that changes it from heating to cooling. The process works in the reverse way, going from compressor to the evaporator to the heat exchanger to the condenser to the outside.
