A heat pump is a reversible heating and cooling unit that transfers heat from inside your house to the outside in the summer, and then reverses itself to transfer heat from the outside to the inside in the winter. It's all electric and is very effective in a warm climate like Florida. It doesn't work as well in colder climates.
Think of it like a reversible belt that can be black or brown, depending on what color pants you are wearing.
