Geothermal energy is used in some areas.

Most home systems do offer both heating and cooling in one. Some of the older systems have separate heating and cooling. Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling. Other types of systems do not. However Heat Pumps can only efficiently heat a home if it's not excessively cold and therefore you usually need a supplementary heating system.
Typically, your central thermostat sends a 24 volt signal to a terminal labelled "O", down a (usually orange-colored) wire to the reversing valve. This energizes the valve to switch over to cooling operation. For heat, the 24 volt signal is removed, and the valve defaults to the heating position.The HVAC Veteran
DOE refers to DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY The heating capacity should be obvious. Here a link to a Heating Fuel Comparison Chart. May give you some insight. http://www.eia.doe.gov/neic/experts/heatcalc.xls

Heating can be due to a chemical change, for example burning a fuel is in effect a chemical reaction with oxygen. Also some chemical reactions are exothermic, ie they produce heat. Not so many produce cooling, but one is the combination of ice and salt.However heating and cooling happen for other reasons as well, so you can't say they are examples of chemical changes. It is correct to say that some chemical changes result in heating and cooling.

depends on who makes it. some energize in heating and some in cooling.
It depends on the system that you have. Some are just cooling and air conditioning with the heating system separate. Most up to date hvacs now come equipped with a heating system.
The manufacturing industry in the USA has shrunk substantially and unfortunately no heating and cooling systems are now manufactured here. Some assembly work is still done, but the actual components are made overseas.
In some areas dried animal waste is used for cooking and heating.
When selecting a Colorado Springs heating and cooling, it's important to consider factors such as altitude adjustments, energy efficiency, adaptability to extreme weather conditions, and compatibility with renewable energy sources.
It depends on the type of wiring the house is set for. IN some homes heat and gas run on electricity and in other homes heat and cooling is run by gas compnaies.
Yes, you should do a lot of research. Try talking to local heating and cooling companies to see what they recomend, and then get some quotes so you know what to pay.
