An energy efficient heat pump includes a working fluid circuit configured to circulate a working fluid, where the working fluid circuit includes a compressor, a first heat exchanger, a second heat exchanger, a first expansion device, an economizer, and a reversing valve, where the reversing valve is configured to adjust a flow direction of the working fluid through the working fluid circuit. The energy efficient heat pump also includes a first conduit of the working fluid circuit, where the first conduit extends between the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger, the economizer is disposed along the first conduit, and the first conduit is configured to direct the working fluid between the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger and through the economizer. The energy efficient heat pump further includes an injection conduit extending from the first conduit to an injection port of the compressor, where the injection conduit includes a second expansion device, and the injection conduit is configured to direct a portion of the working fluid from the working fluid circuit, through the second expansion device, through the economizer, and to the injection port of the compressor to inject of the portion of the working fluid into the compressor.
