it works by electricity and heat
Ductless heat pumps operate in the same way as regular heat pumps. However it is easier to install for quality heating and cooling that works quietly with no extra noise.
A U.S. Department of Energy sponsored study concluded that radiant heat panels were 52% less expensive to operate than electric baseboard heat and 33% more cost effective air to air heat pumps.
All the heat pumps that I know of are electric. Some may have gas backup-- in very cold conditions , heat pump will not work, so some kind of backup is needed.
with gas back up . a heat pump alone ,will not be able to extract heat efficiently when it reaches it's economic balance point in its region of operation.

The simple answer is yes it produces heat and is distributed to the rooms in your house; unless however, you are using electric baseboard heat which works on convection, or electric radiant heating panels.
what are the worst rated heat pumps
To service your electric heat pump, you would need to call your local heating and air conditioning repair company. Look them up in the phone book and choose one that is licensed.
