A heat pump is really two systems in one. Like the name implies, it heats your home in the winter. But, unlike a gas furnace, it doesn't burn fuel to make heat it just moves heat from one place to another. In winter it captures heat from the air outdoors and transfers it to the air indoors to heat your home. Yes, even in cold winter air there is a lot of heat that can be used to warm your home.
