The heart of the heat pump is the Copeland scroll compressor. The compressor continuously pumps the ozone safe refrigerant from the outside coils to the inside coils. The refrigerant carries the heat with it to be released inside the house. Then the warm air is circulated throughout the home by the furnace fan. In the summer the flow of the refrigerant reverses and the house is cooled in the same way.
The scroll compressors are extremely reliable and virtually trouble free. Copeland is the largest manufacturer of heat pump compressors in the United States. Our Goodman heat pumps are built to last with reliable Copeland scroll compressors.
Scroll compressors are very durable because they have fewer parts than the older reciprocating compressors and are also simpler in construction.
Instead of pistons and valves which the older compressors had, the scroll compressor has a scroll that orbits to compress the refrigerant.

What are pros and cons of heat pump versus non heat pump for home heating?
I don't know of to many cons about owning a heat pump. Pro's: lower heating bills acts as an air conditioner in the summer Below 30*F outdoor temp they are worthless.
How hvac systems work?
Heating, ventilating, air conditioning systems (HVAC) most often use a refrigerant for cooling and a furnace or heat pump for heating. Both heating and cooling are directed through the same ventilation network.
Can a heat pump still work if the heat pump is turned off at the fuse box?
No.
What is cheaper to operate a heat strip unit or a heat pump?
the heat pump is cheaper but the pump does not work as well when its below 40 out side thats when you want to run heat strip
Which is not a characteristics of a heat pump?
it requires no work. not
Does the fan outside on the unit have to work for the central heating unit?
is it really run ning or is it possible that you have a heat pump system and it is the heating portion of the system operating?
What controls the heat pump to determine whether it is in the heating cycle or the cycle?

What is auxiliary heat?
Usually a backup heating unit. For instance in a heat pump when the temperature drops below the temperature where the heat pump cannot extract heat from the existing air electric heating elements kick in.

When should you use emergency heat?
During an emergency. i.e. when the heat pump is not working. If your heat pump can not keep your house warm, then the auxiliary heating coils (same thing as emergency heat) will come on automatically. If not, then there is a problem with your heating system.
Can a heat pump switch from heating to cooling and from cooling heating automatically?
only if you have an auto switchover thermostat
