    There’s a condenser pipe that goes to a hole in the foundation for the water that condenses off the coils. All heat pumps are also air conditioners. The defining feature of a heat pump whether ground sources or air sources is the reversing valve that lets them operate for air conditioning or heat. Air conditioners are heat pumps without the reversing valve so they only cool.
