And how on earth does heat pump technology use these to produce heat?

It may sound odd, but natural energy occurs just beneath the surface of the soil and also in the air and water that surrounds us. This energy sourcemay be negligible but heat pump technology has been specifically designed to harvest this energy source. There are of course different heat pump technologies designed to collect the different energy resources. For example, a Ground Source heat pump has been designed specifically to draw out heat energy that exists underground. All heat pump technologies are very effective at being able to supply our homes with warmth and heat our hot water tanks. All heat pump technology have the capacity to help you reduce carbon emissions from your home by up to 75%.
