What is heat pump?

A heat pump is one part, of a two part heating and cooling system and can be used as the primary heating unit in mild winter locations. They can also be used to supplement other heating systems where the temperatures are sub-freezing for longer time periods. Heat pumps also are used in summer for cooling. Basically, the way the system works in cooling mode is the same as most any other AC system. When winter comes it essentially runs the system in reverse to produce heat instead of cooling. The advantage is that it is very cheap to run. The biggest two disadvantages are the compressor has to run during both seasons, causing wear... and ... after you get to about 26 degrees F., the heat pump needs auxiliary heat (gas or electric coil) to warm your house. For most warmer climates they are the best choice. Speak with an HVAC professional to determine your region's best heating option.

Is a circulating pump located on the supply or the return line in hot water heating systems'?

It can be in either location, depending on your head pressure ie a circ on the head or "pump away" will circulate water better in upper floors. If the system is in a 2 or 3 story house using standard baseboard, then having the circulator in either position wont matter. Most all manufacturers are shipping and or directing installers to pump away...circulator on the supply....

How does a hot water heating system works?

Hot water heating systems use a boiler to heat water and a circulator pump moves the heated water through some kind of radiation. A thermostat controls the on off function and keeps the area at a set temperature. If you need more I have ebooks on the subject. You can find them by searching "Robert VanNorden" on Amazon.com. or search"hot water heating systems" on Google and my book "Understanding Hot Water Heating Systems" will come up on page 1.
