The Difference Between a Heat Pump and AC. (Heat Pump Parts Explained)

I really like how you broke down the differences between an air conditioner condenser and a heat pump in simple terms -thanks!

This probably the best description of a heat pump out there. Good for home inspectors too.

I wish I would have seen your video before I ordered my Heat Pump unit thanks for the explanation, very well-done.

Super simple. The best explanation i found on heat pumps

This is the best guy explaining A/C very happy and straight to the point Thankyou bro 😎

You are one of the best teacher I ever seen. Straight to the point no bs explaination. You deserve million of subscribers. Anyway I subscribed to your channel.

AWESOME EXPLANATION OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTS

Thanks kid for entertains ole man.

Your great-great doctor

You know the subject of interests very well. 👍

Jay good news starting HVAC class Monday finally! pray for me man It starts with electricity the whole first semester. I hope I get it, looks complicated and I never dealt with electrical before. But God blessed me with free tuition via grants. Been watching your videos, you just seem like you have a more analytical mind than me. Blessings to the family man!

I sure hope I am not the only one who did not realize that a "heat pump" was exactly the same as a normal AC condenser but with additional parts inside... If you remember the first time you heard the term "heat pump", do you recall what the first thing that came to your head was? I can't be the only one who did not imagine a condenser unit.. 😄 True story: I, the greenhorn tech who did not go over heat pumps in school yet, was on a ride-along with a senior tech at my first HVAC job... After he and I looked at the furnace we went back to the van to order a part. As he was looking for the part, he realized he needed another model number so he asked me to go get him the model number of the heat pump. I said, "sure, no problem!" even though I had no idea what a heat pump was. I didn't want to look stupid - I am actively attending an HVAC school after all. So I go back to the furnace room because that's where we just were and I start looking for something that looks like a heat pump... After a few minutes, I was certain that it is not the water heater, there is no boiler, and there is nothing else that may be a heat pump.. I had a flip phone back then with no internet so I couldn't look it up either. I went back to the van and told him I couldn't find it. After a short pause, he gave me a confused look and then asked me if I tried looking on the other side of the house and pointed to where the "air conditioner" is. (I think he was simply trying to let me save face and pretended not to understand that I had no idea what a heat pump is). On that side of the house there was nothing else except the condenser unit so that was the day when I learned what a heat pump is. 😂 I gave him the model number off that condenser unit and nervously watched him type it in the laptop. To my relief, that was indeed the model number he needed. (I assumed that was a heat pump but I still wasn't 100% sure) 2 weeks later we went over heat pumps in school. 😑

I'm replacing and old gas furnace\ac elec. package unit to a package air source heat pump. Very helpful in helping me to decide on package or split system. I now know how to talk with a salesman for the best option in my home!! Thank you for your informative videos!!

Great info, and good joke! Thank you Sir!

Thank you much for these videos! With your instructions over the last two years between two houses I have changed my control panel, fan motor, and fuses and installed a compressor saver pack and bought and learned how to use a multimeter. AC has broken twice in arizona summer and I have fixed it both times. Keep up this channel man.... everyone needs to share this guy with their friends to support!!!

Extremely good simple explanation. I just bought a house with two heat pumps installed. Up until I bought the house I never knew what a heat pump was.. since I only called it an AC 🤣

Awesome video!! I would love to see a heat pump top ten issues like the one you did for AC! Thanks for the excellent videos!

Nice detail. Knew about the reversing valve but not all of the other stuff which is more than I expected. Great job!

Love your channel i just got a job training as a service tech and you have been a life saver

Thanks Jay for all your great helpful videos, Informative no nonsense info. I've also wondered since setting up my nest house wiring in 2016. I wondered what is a heat pump within my gaspack unit? I researched back then and that's just another reason what make your videos stand out from the rest... Great Job.
