A split system AC is a heat pump in any context. So is a refrigerator. They're all the same technology that move energy via a refrigerant's latent heat by compressing it into a warm part and letting it expand into a cold part.
Cool, thanks. In that case it's about one month until I can't live without my heat pumps. They stop my balls from sticking to my leg.
