How does the heat pump change the way in which people heat their homes?
If you already have a forced air system, the heat-pump is not going to change the way you heat your home, it will seamlessly heat your home you just won't be using your main furnace until the heat-pump loses it's efficiency in the 20 degree f range. When it reaches that point you switch to the furnace.
Is a programmable thermostat good to use with a heat pump system?
A programmable thermostat works fine with a heat pump. Just remember that a heat pump does not heat as fast as a furnace because of the lower BTU ratings so do not set the thermostat as far back as you normally would. Also make sure to buy a thermostat that has heat pump terminals.
What does a heat pump do in your homes?
A heat pump acts as a furnace in heat mode to warm the home in the winter, then acts as an air conditioner in the summer to cool the home.
How difficult is it to install a heat pump in your house?
I would recommend this site here http://www.ehow.com/how_2125874_install-heat-pump.html. It will give an easy step by step directions to install your heat pump.
Can you pump down a heat pump system in heat mode just as you would do in the cool mode?
No, the energy in a heat pump system must be transfered to another heat pump system because the first law of thermodynamics say that energy cannot be created nor destroyed
Why is the heat and air system only working on emergency heat?
when running the heat-pump the air blowing from the heat ducts is not hot ( it's to cold for the heat-pump). you have a main furnace and it won't turn on ( is thermostat selected for this source), ( is the power switch for main furnace on ), ( is fuse for this furnace good). If these are good (check thermostat wiring at thermostat, and transformer).

What equipment includes Split system?
Typically, it is a Condenser or Heat Pump outside and a furnace and cooling coils inside
Why does Furnace shut off when very cold outside?
A heat pump will do this, a furnace should not. Are you sure you have a furnace?
Which type of heating system to install in my home Heat pump or gas furnace and ac unit?
That will depend on the cost (and availability) of gas in your area, when compared to electric costs. It will also depend on the climate. At very cold temperatures (below 40 F) the heat transfer element of an air/Freon heat pump does not deliver heat, and the less efficient electric heat kicks in. In a climate that has long periods of below-freezing temps, a gas furnace may be more economical to operate.
Where is the filter on your goodman heat pump system?
Somewhere between the return air grille in the home and the return air duct connection on the furnace.

You have an electric forced air furnace and central air. why does the central air fan run when furnace comes on?
You must have a heat pump with electric auxilliary heat.
Why does furnace and heat pump run constantly?
Could be a few things, the house being cold, a broken temp sensor, disconnect between the sensor and the furnace/pump.
Convert oil furnace to electric?
"Converting" an oil furnace to electric will not be economically practical. You'd be far better off getting a "ground source heat pump" and having someone install it for you. They're much more efficient than the older style electric heat that uses resistor heating elements.
