... To this end, a compressor inside the device uses electricity to increase the temperature of the heat extracted from the outside air. The heat pump can also provide cooling by transferring warm indoor air to the outside.

"Are you better off just turning up your thermostat and using an extra 50 bucks worth of electricity every month through the heating months?"
