- Heat pump parts and functions. I go over all the parts a heat pump has which a normal air conditioner does not. I also explain how the air source heat pump works and functions differently than a standard straight AC unit. If you want to know more about the condenser unit parts, check out my AC Parts and Functions Video:

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.
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.
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
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!!!
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!!
Wow I knew all these parts and somewhat what they do .. school is helping !
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.
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!
David! That is great news man!! I'm happy to hear that! The electrical class was one of my favorites and I seriously came from a background that knew absolutely nothing about HVAC, plumbing, or electrical stuff 😅 I am sure you will love it and will do well. You got this bro. May God bless you and family as well! Carry on and become a legend out there!
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. 😑
If you go ask a physics professor, they'll tell you: normal A/C is also a heat pump. Thermodynamically, a normal A/C unit moves heat from one place to another and is a heat pump but "air conditioning" is a colloquial phrase and has no scientific meaning. So, when these two-way systems came out, there wasn't a colloquial phrase that captured what the device is doing and they defaulted to the phrase used in thermodynamics courses everywhere. In both cases, thermodynamically, heat is being moved and, in both cases, a heat pump is what's moving the heat from one place to another. One system is just one-way and the other system is two-way but they're both heat pumps.
Love your channel i just got a job training as a service tech and you have been a life saver
Nice detail. Knew about the reversing valve but not all of the other stuff which is more than I expected. Great job!
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!
AWESOME EXPLANATION OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTS
Very helpful video jay‼️👍🏼 thx for taking the time and share your knowledge with us 🙏🏼
Great in job. It takes a genius to make and explain things in a simple way. Kudos!
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 🤣
Great and simple explanation. Thank you!
This is such a great video! Thanks!
Awesome. Just what I wanted to learn. Thanks!
Really useful video. I have been naively thinking that we ought to be able to retrofit a reversing valve to an existing “A/C” to convert it into a heat pump (for heating).
This video made it clear that there are way more parts than just a reversing valves.
Thanks a lot, you really make everything looks easy and simple.
You're welcome! Glad to hear it looked simple and easy 😄
The clearest video on this topic
One of the best explaining videos
Very helpful thanks
I'm a fairly new Hvac tech and I learn a lot from your videos, thanks for doing these videos
Glad to hear you find them helpful! Thanks for watching and good luck in your career! May you become a legend in your area 😎🤙
Thanks kid for entertains ole man.

That's a good diagram of a a heat pump, IMHO.
They're hard to do so they're both accurate and easy/easier to understand.
Thanks all around.
Just getting into HVAC and these videos are super helpful. I'm starting off doing installs, but I've already transitioned into doing some service calls and diagnosing. My favorite so far is commercial stuff, the big carrier and Lennox package units are cool and its neat to see how the control side works.
Those are the big dogs!
I just landed a job doing light commercial and residental (after going to night class 1yr) and I'm the opposite lol.

Thank you
You inspired me so much brother! You are the best teacher you have that gift, great joke too.
I'm happy to hear that I inspired you David! Thank you!
@@WordofAdviceTV thank you man I hope I make you proud like I said electricity one and two are the first classes I'm taking so I'm going to take a lot of notes and asked lots of questions they're going to have to kick me out of the class hahaha
Useful and funny. Give you a like
Another great informative Video. Thank you
Thank you Clayton! Glad you liked the video.
@@WordofAdviceTV I was wondering with the compressor needing a heating element how much is added to the total wattage and or amperage of the heat pumps?
Regarding energy consumption, it's actually not too bad. Different heat pumps can be set up differently but generally crankcase heaters only operate when the compressor is off and they draw about 0.1 to 0.3 A when they are operating.
@@WordofAdviceTV Thank you Jay
Best channel.
Thank you! 😄 I appreciate you watching and commenting. May you have a fantastic rest of the week! 🤙🤙

We are just now investing in a heat pump-The question I have for you is why does the unit that will be installed inside say air conditioner on the box-That will be attached to the heat pump outside. We are mainly using it for West Coast Canada heat. Thank you.
Your the best my friend ..can you do another one explaining how to check the heat pump please!!!!
If I will get the chance to later, I will try. (This video was filmed in Minnesota. I am back in Hawaii now) Thank you!
@@WordofAdviceTV please when you have a chance..that will help alot thanks
Again, your videos are the best! I'm having my AC/gas furnace replaced. Suppliers are out of 5 ton condenser so contractor offerd to install a heat pump instead. Could this be converted to dual fuel as simply as replacing inside TXV with one that has a check valve and upgrading the thermostat? Thanks!
Hello good buddy 👍 Jay good to see you again my friend I missed you buddy.. well Arnold has been doing pretty good here lately I had a rough time here lately my first cousin passed away unexpectedly her funeral was Monday she leaves behind a teenage daughter so sad 😢 beyond words. I had a scare Sunday night I was having chest pains I ran out of my nitroglycerin pills and had to drive myself to the hospital and they gave me two shots of nitroglycerin before I got better and I was able to come on home I have to go see a cardiologist I don't know how long I will be here for real Dr said that my heart sounds bad I know that I haven't been feeling good for a while I get so tired anymore. I came home from the hospital Sunday night and got a call a old friend of mine passed away also he was actually in the ER the same time I was and I didn't know it. Arnold said hello to you good buddy 👍 I'm happy to see you again my friend tell everyone I said hello and I love them and you too my number one good buddy 👍 even though I never met you I consider you my best friend take care buddy and God bless you all my friends I will be praying for you Jay 👋🤙🙏👊🤜🤛✌️🤙
Aloha David! Though I am happy to hear that Arnold has been feeling good, it would be much better if you were feeling good as well! Sorry to hear that there have been a few deaths among friends and family for you. Coupled with the chest pains, you must have had quite the stressful week... I hope this week will be a polar opposite of the last one and be full of blessings and peace for you! Wishing you good health and strength from Hawaii! I appreciate the love and prayers you always send our way, May God bless you abundantly as well! We will pray for your health and wellbeing. Pass on our greetings to Arnold 🤙🤙🤙👨👩👦☀🌴🌧🐟🐠🦈☀☀😎
@@WordofAdviceTV I told Arnold you said hello buddy 👋✌️🤙👍🐕..I'm doing pretty good today jay I have to go to a veiwing tomorrow night that is Thursday night to a ol friend of mine passed away and to the funeral on Friday at eleven.. well it's still been hot 🔥 here buddy it's been awful hot.. me and Arnold are trying to keep cool staying in as much as we can and I don't like to be indoors I'm a outdoors type of person but hopefully this heat wave will pass. I had a rhubarb pie last week and i thought about you
You should explain the advantages or disadvantages of 😊a heat pump
👍👍. Thanks!
You're welcome! Thanks for stopping by Tony!
would love to see a video looking at the exterior unit of a ductless mini split system (like a Mitsubishi brand) - they have a different form factor with the fan vertical.
Hello J, I come to your channel for a lot of advice and I'm back once again. This is my first year with a heat pump here in Missouri and I need some advice. This past week we've been in the teen's and 20's for high temps. I have my thermostat set at 70 but it's a cold 70. I've been told and you even mentioned in this video that I can set my thermostat to "EH" and bypass the heat pump. Doesn't that usually double your electric bill? As it is it seems run most of the time anyway. It'll run for 15-20 minutes then kick off but back on again in 10 minutes or less all day and night. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
ANOTHER EXCELLENT VIDEO. Thanks. Question? Is it possible for a non-HVAC--professional to install the heat pump system? AND - How much work would it be to change from a regular HVAC to a Heat Pump system? AND- I was told the new Heat Pump systems can work to 10 degree. Is that true?
How do you know if you have a heat pump? This rental home has a Goodman outside but it looks exactly like the goodman I used to have at my other home which was an AC. Is there a special thermostat for a heat pump because the one here only has a heat and ac option. Thank you
My first home was a NEW condo and I moved into it in the dead of winter---February!!!!! It had a heat pump!
One relocates from a nice WARM rented apartment to a new PURCHASED property with a freaking heat pump.
I need not say more.........Brrrrrrrr!
Can you do more videos on heat pumps?
Great job! thanks for the explanation. I didn't get the joke??
The last woman ridiculed how forgetful her sisters are and then proceeded to forget that she was the one that knocked on the wooden table and there really is no one at the door.
learnt a lot. But still it would be great to include simple steps to identify if your AC is a heatpump.
LOL. loved the joke. That's my sisters and me. And I now know a heat pump is also an AC.
Nicee
Hey quick question
Where does common from cap go on the contactor? Would it go on where you got your Run from compressor/fan motor (L2) or would it go where your commons for the compressor/fan motor at (L1)
so does this heat pump have a/c as well or you would need two big condenser outside the property to have ac/ and heat?
Sounds like a system best suited for out west where it rarely gets cold enough for the heat pump to be ineffective.
Excellent video....fun thing is, aren't they all technically "heat pumps"...since they pump or move heat around regardless of reversing valve status.
I’ve been doing HVAC for 4 months ran into my first Heat Pump yesterday . Couldn’t get it to program with a Present day Smart Amazon thermostat . Any videos on wiring those ?
Also I’ll be honest my 4th money journey has been so exciting and fun but also discouraging at moments because I feel like im 26 and I’m not learning as fast as a should be . Ironically , I Just need some word of advice .
New Carrier installed two days ago, the accumulator has condensation making puddles of water. Co stating "condensation," and normal. Is this normal? Not seeing this on any other unit, my old Rheem or my neighbor's Goodman, York or Trane.
on winter time and when using the heat, when my heat pump is running, i noticed that the accumulator leaks fluid from one of the pipes on the top, not always, some days is really dry and some leaks
is this something normal??
great vid as always man but looks like u should clean ur condenser hahah
Lol I knew I would get some comments about that 😄 Thanks for watching, have a great new week! 🤙🤙
@@WordofAdviceTV lmao yea that condenser was super dirty
@@WordofAdviceTV thanks man 👍 you too. and as a 2nd year refrigeration apprentice i really appreciate your vids btw keep it up
Can u use a gas furnace and Ecoil inside n a heat pump with a reversing valve outside? Would this work
Another difference is, and installers make this mistake, both refrigerant lines are insulated in an unconditioned space and especially outside.
Off topic question. But is it alrite to pull a vacuum using digital gauges? Or is it recommended that you pull a vacuum using a seprate vacuum gauge?
Can you help me with a problem I have I can’t seem to fix my control board it’s has a problem with the sensor size 5 it just burns out every time I put a new one and I did watch the video you did on it but I don’t understand can you help me by any chance?
I have a goodman aruf36c14aa. It doesn't have a reverse valve that I can see but it has a bi flow filter dryer, so i'm confused
Question about the wires going into the compressor on that unit. Usually I see 3 wires for the run, start, and common, but that looked like it had 4 or 5 besides the heater wires. what are the extra wires for?
There are a total of 5 wires going to the compressor. The bottom 2 black wires are for the heater. The other three (black,yellow,bluish) are the pump run start common. I think you are confusing the red into black wire splices for the heater wiring.
@@davenone7312 i think there is 6. two blacks for heater. then a red black green and yellow. i’m trying to figure out what the green wire with yellow stripe is for going to the compressor
When you're buying a heat pump, does it come as both the inside and outside units? I'm looking them up but the pictures only show the outside unit.
They should come as a set, evaporator coil and condenser coil.
hey partner do you have any tutorials on package units? lennox?
Sorry Jimmy, no videos on package units yet 🤔
How do you pump down a heat pump with the reversing valve?
How about Pool Heat pump how works please and thank you
That cottonwood on that coil was giving me anxiety.
👍👍👍
So is it normal for heat pumps to run in emergency heat when it's really cold outside? Let's say when the temperature drops down to 20°F?
Is there any reason why there is water coming out of an air vent in the house?
That of course is not normal.. Is this a new development or has it been doing this for a long time? Is your air handler/furnace located in the attic? Is the vent in question on the ceiling, floor, or wall? Have you tried replacing the filter? Maybe the condensate drain line is plugged? Is it a leak, as in the water is flowing out or is it condensation? Is it super humid in the house? Those are my initial thoughts.. Without being there to see it, it would be hard to give an accurate diagnosis.
@@WordofAdviceTV
Hi 👋
Thank you for reaching out!
The ac system is on the roof, the air vent is on the ceiling, I don’t see any water coming out of any other vents in the house, The air filters are clean, I replaced them every month, the condensate line appears to be working fine, the leak,are little drops of water…
And lately it’s being raining a lot , I checked for any leaks from the roof, didn’t find any…
If it is just one vent, I would suspect that the leak has nothing to do with the air conditioner.. I would take the vent cover off and look in the ductwork to see if there is any condensation gathering inside. If not, then the leak is likely not caused by the AC. But of course I can't say anything for certain 🤷♂️
So a heat pumps gives you the option of running the air conditioner in the winter? Or you can heat ur house using a heat pump with out turning on the furnace? Sorry, still a bit confused
No problem Luis! I remember being baffled by heat pumps as well. 😅 Yes, the heat pump heats the house instead of a furnace. The only problem is that heat pumps start to struggle and then provide no heat at all as it gets colder outside. Generally people can use a heat pump to heat the house until it gets to about 30F outside. And then the back up heat source would need to be used instead. (either an electric or gas furnace) In summary, a regular air conditioner can only cool the house but a heat pump is capable of both, cooling and heating.
@@WordofAdviceTV that makes so much more sense lol. Thank you! Love your content bro
Last night I noticed AUX on my thermostat. I think we got down to 40 maybe 35. It was blowing cool air. We turned off the thermostat, changed filters & turned the stat back on and it’s still been blowing cool air. I don’t know what else to check. I can’t afford someone to come out right now. 😬
