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.

What does em heat mean on American Standard Heat Pump System?
"em heat" stands for emergency heat, when the temperature drops below a certain point this will allow your heat strips to kick in, you can also switch at any time to emergency heat and the heat strips will kick in, this however, allows the system to run like you have an electric heat/cool unit vs. a heat pump. The heat pump mode is more efficient but emergency heat will produce warmer air quicker. Hope this answers your question.
What is a closed heat pump system?
You might have heard about the open or closed loop system. If it is a closed loop system, then it is referring to the continuous piping loops that are set underground. These loops are to be filled with an anti-freeze-like liquid which is the key to transforming the floor temperature into the geothermal heat pump.
Does EmHeat costs more than the heat pump mode in an airconditioning system?
yes it does as the heat pump is more effeciant.
How do you know if you have a heat pump?
