A temperature control apparatus for a vehicle is provided that includes an electric device that is cooled by circulating cooling fluid. A heater core is disposed adjacent to an interior heat exchanger of a heat pump to receive the cooling fluid that has cooled the electric device. In addition, the apparatus includes a first valve that controls the supply of the cooling fluid from the electric device to the heater core. Accordingly, using the temperature control apparatus, air-conditioning performance of vehicles, is improved using heat generated from electric devices, together with a heat pump, when the vehicles, such as hybrid or electric vehicles, are equipped with electric devices, such as a motor, an inverter, and a converter and the electric devices are air-conditioned using the heat pump.
