Is a heat pump electric or gas?
All the heat pumps that I know of are electric. Some may have gas backup-- in very cold conditions , heat pump will not work, so some kind of backup is needed.
What is the difference between a pool heater and a heater pump?
Heat pump pool heaters use electricity to capture heat. As the pool pump circulates the water, it is drawn from the pool and through a filter and into the heat pump heater. The heater itself has a fan that pulls in outside air and pushes it over the evaporator coil. At this point liquid refrigerant in the evaporator coil absorbs the heat from the outside air converting it into a gas. The gas is then passed through the compressor where it increases the heat. This very hot gas is then sent through the condenser where the hot gas is transferred to the cool pool water circulating through the heater. The heated water is then returned to the pool. A pool heater on the other hand uses the gas directly to heat the water by fueling the combustion chamber.

What is a heat pump?
A heat pump is a heating system that applies the principle of refrigeraation to heating homes. These principles are: 1. when a gas is quickly compressed, it's temperature rises; 2. when a gas is allowed to expand suddenly it's temperature fallls; 3. when a liquid evaporates, it absorbs heat; and 4. when a gas condenses it releases heat.
Who uses natural gas for heat?
Many HOMES use natural gas for heat
What are the pros and cons of an electric heat pump versus a natural gas pool heater?
An electric heat pump needs heat available to pump. If it is 30 degrees outside, heating a spa to 102 or so, may be impossible unless the heater has some type of alternative heat source. A properly sized, gas fired heater can take care of a larger range of heating needs. A combination heat pump and natural gas heater, probably with a controller, really makes the issue more difficult, expensive, and would require a lot of study for efficient, cost effective operation. Bottom line: In really mild climates a heat pump might do the job. In cooler climates the gas heater rules. And where a wide range of temperatures and high heat demand is wanted by the customer, a gas heater is the only way to go. A backup heat pump may take years to payout. HM Louisiana
How does a heat pump use freon to heat?
A valve is used to reverse the flow of freon. In the heat mode, the high or hot side gas is pumped to the indoor unit, The low or cold side is pumped to the outdoor unit. The valve is reversed for the cool mode. Pumping cool gas to the indoor unit and hot gas to the outdoor unit.
Will central heat work without air conditioner?
Yes, as long as it a gas system and not a electric heat pump system

What is the use of centrifugal pump in the ship?
to pump out liquid or gas in higher quantity
Will a booster pump help heat the pool with gas heater on?
No. generally a booster pump is used to run a pressure side cleaner.
Is it more efficient to use the emergency heat instead of the heat pump when the temperature is in the 30's?
There is still enough heat in the air to run your heat pump when the temp is in the 30,s
