A person can tell if their home heat pump thermostat is working by setting the temperature a few degrees above or below ambient to see if it kicks on. A thermometer can be used to verify the temperature.

Should your outdoor HVAC compressor run when your heater is on?
no sounds like your wires are crossed at your thromsthat Answer If you have a heat pump system, YES the compressor should run. You can find out if the system is a heat pump usually by looking at the thermostat. Heat pump thermostats usually have "Cool-Off-Heat-Emergency Heat" on the system switch. Another way would be to feel the air coming out of the outside unit when the heat is on. If the air coming out feels very cold, then it's a heat pump. even if you have a heat pump, the only way the in door unit should be producing heat is if you are all electric if you are gas the heat pump should lockout to prevent the persure from getting to high causing the indoor coil to blow up.
A heat pump has a cop rating of 2.5 to 1 if 200 watts of electricity are used to run the heat pump how many equivalent watts are produced?
19.a heat pump has a COP rating of 2.5 to 1. If 200 watts of electricity are used to run the heat pump, how many equivalent watts(heat) are produced?
Can you mix a heat pump condensor unit with a non heat pump indoor unit?
Check with the manufacturer to see if they are compatible.
How do you control 110 volt circulator pump with a 24 volt thermostat?
You will need an interpose relay. This relay will have a 24 volt coil. The circuit power for the relay will come from a 120VAC to 24VAC volt transformer. The 24 VAC circuit will have the thermostat in series with the coil of the relay. Thermostat calls for heat, the coil energizes and the relay's contacts close. Your circulator pump is controlled by the relay. On selecting the relay make sure that the contact ratings can handle the full load amps of the circulator. A contact rating of 120 volts at 15 amps will do very nicely.

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).

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 is the purpose of a thermostat on a heat pump?
The purpose of a thermostat on a running heat pump is to be able to determine the temperature the pump is operating at. This is used for regulating the heats needed.
Why will my heat pump not start when i turn on thermostat?
First, is the thermostat in he correct position for cooling? Is there a red light glowing on the thermostat? There could have been a power surge or outage and the heat pump needs to reset. Turn the power off to the heat pump at the control panel for a couple or minutes then back on again to reset the heat pump.
