Looking through the top by the fan . Look at your compressor if its a heat pumpbyou will have a accumalator which looks like an long can which your copper line runs to and you will also have a reversing valve which is attached in your line sets it will have three copper lines running to it and an electrical line to it also. A straight cool unit you will see nothing but a compressor. Also if your thermostate has a emergency heat most likely its a heat pump.

What is the difference between a heat pump and a refrigerator?
A heat pump and a refrigerator both transfer heat, but they work in opposite ways. A heat pump moves heat from outside to inside to warm a space, while a refrigerator moves heat from inside to outside to cool a space.

Why is there an electric heating coil in a heat pump?
Heat pumps don't work well when the temperature outside drops below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. The way a heat pump works is by absorbing heat from outside and moving inside using the refrigerant. Much like an air conditioner absorbs the heat from inside of your home and moves it out. Therefore the colder it is outside the less heat a heat pump can produce. The reason they install electric heat strips is to ensure that when the temperature outside gets below 40 you will still have enough heat available to heat the property.
Why is refrigerator a heat pump?
A refrigerator is considered a heat pump because it moves heat from inside the refrigerator to the outside, cooling the interior in the process. By using a refrigeration cycle, the refrigerator is able to maintain a cold temperature inside while expelling heat outside, similar to how a heat pump transfers heat from one place to another.
