    AC is a version of heatpump that cools your house. Refridgerator is a heatpump that keeps your food cool. Freezer is a heatpump wäthat freezes things.

    AC is not the same thing as heatpump. AC is just one application of an heatpump.

      It is the exact same hardware running in different configurations, all that changes is refrigerant flow direction.

        That is exactly what I said. I was just trying to say that heatpump is not the same thing as AC just as car is not the same thing as an engine.

          Seems like you’re talking about heat pump (technology) and I’m talking about heat pump (commercial product)

          But yeah, heat pumps (technology) are used in lots of every day places.
