Can you pump down a heat pump system in heat mode just as you would do in the cool mode?
No, the energy in a heat pump system must be transfered to another heat pump system because the first law of thermodynamics say that energy cannot be created nor destroyed
Does EmHeat costs more than the heat pump mode in an airconditioning system?
yes it does as the heat pump is more effeciant.
Heat pump Or gas furnace and AC unit which system to install?
Your location matters. If in Florida heat pump in more northern climes furnace & ac.
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.
How does the heat pump change the way in which people heat their homes?
If you already have a forced air system, the heat-pump is not going to change the way you heat your home, it will seamlessly heat your home you just won't be using your main furnace until the heat-pump loses it's efficiency in the 20 degree f range. When it reaches that point you switch to the furnace.

Can a heat pump thermostat be used on non heat pump air conditioning system?
yes it can but everytime you want heat you have to put it on Emergency Heat..
What is the difference between heat engine and heat pump?
Heat Engine is the system that converts the Heat energy into mechanical work while Heat pump converts the work into heat
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?
If your themostat has an emergency heat (eheat) setting on your mode selector( Cool Off Heat Eheat ) this is the most common indicator of a heat pump system.
Will central heat work without air conditioner?
Yes, as long as it a gas system and not a electric heat pump system
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.
Does the fan outside on the unit have to work for the central heating unit?
is it really run ning or is it possible that you have a heat pump system and it is the heating portion of the system operating?
Can a salt system be added to a pool heated with a heat pump without harming the heat pump?
Absolutely: The equipment does not know the difference in what chemical you are using.
Which setting should iuse on electric thermostat heat or em heat what is difference?
On a system that uses a Heat pump, the heat setting utilizes the pump, and electrical coil heating as a backup. On the EM setting the heat pump won't run, only the axillary coils will provide heat.
Heat pump Or gas furnace and AC unit which system to install?
Your location matters. If in Florida heat pump in more northern climes furnace & ac.
What does the water pump have to do with the heater?
The water pump moves the coolant around the system so the heat can be transferred inside.
