Why is there an electric heating coil in a heat pump?
Heat pumps don't work well when the temperature outside drops below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. The way a heat pump works is by absorbing heat from outside and moving inside using the refrigerant. Much like an air conditioner absorbs the heat from inside of your home and moves it out. Therefore the colder it is outside the less heat a heat pump can produce. The reason they install electric heat strips is to ensure that when the temperature outside gets below 40 you will still have enough heat available to heat the property.
