Dumb question perhaps - I'm going to be shopping for an HVAC system for an area that needs heating in the winter and AC in the summer. Any chance that heat pumps can serve both cases? I mean, we're just compressing gas at one end and letting it expand at the other, right :-)

Not a dumb question, you've hit on one of the best features of these systems. They act as a heater in the winter and as AC in the summer. Same system.
