Hook up common and yellow from inside unit to condenser
I'm afraid your question is not very clear. Your heat pump is basically an air conditioning unit with back up heat strips. If your thermostat is wired correctly and I'm certain it was from the factory, then the AC and heat strips will never come on at the same time. Is it not going into cooling mode? Ruud has wiring diagrams for most all their equipment on the internet. With a little research, you should be able to find yours. The Model # of your heat pump is the key to that.
If you have a heat pump A/C unit then you have auxillary heat and emergency heat. The EM stands for emergency heat, which is using only your electric heat strips or gas heat, depending on your system. The auxillary heat uses your compressor inside of your outside unit. Say the house is 60 degrees inside and you set your stat to 70, the temperature difference is so great that if the heat pump alone cannot satisfy, then the auxillary heat would come on to assist the heat pump. Say you were to get a leak in either your condenser or evaporator coils, your heat pump would not work on the regular heat setting on the tstat. In this circumstance you would want to use just the emergency heat until a service tech can evaluate the system.
Sounds like your system is a heat pump. When a heat pump cools in the summer, the inside coil gets cold and the outside coil gets hot. When the heat pump heats in the winter, the inside coil gets hot, and the outside coil gets cold. It sounds like your heat pump is stuck in heating mode. Check your thermostat to be sure it didn't accidentally get switched to heat. It could be the reversing valve inside the unit is stuck, or an electrical control is broken, forcing the reversing valve to stay in the heating position. Perhaps a call to the serviceman is in order!
The size of wire needed for a heat pump typically depends on the unit's amperage draw and the distance from the power source. Generally, for residential heat pumps, 10 to 6 AWG wire is commonly used, but it's essential to consult the manufacturer's specifications and local electrical codes. Additionally, consider factors like voltage drop and circuit protection when selecting the appropriate wire size. Always ensure a qualified electrician reviews your specific installation requirements.
This type of compressor uses a special drive to control The speed of the unit. Also, saves more energy than a fixed speed equivalent.
This is a straight cool 13 SEER condensing unit that uses R410a refrigerant. This is not a heat pump.
Yes. As long as the capacity, efficiency, and refrigerant are the same.
A refrigerator is designed to cool things down by removing heat from inside the unit, while a heat pump can both cool and heat spaces by transferring heat from one place to another.

Hi, Good question and the answer is ( YES! ) as long <<<< as you are not taking up any fancy ideas of using it as a heat pump. Wire it in and set the reversing valve to stay on cool cycle and never reverse to heat and viola. Some units use energized reversing valve during cool and some de-energized. Its easy to find out. Just try it. Hope this helps: Jimiwane
A valve is used to reverse the flow of freon. In the heat mode, the high or hot side gas is pumped to the indoor unit, The low or cold side is pumped to the outdoor unit. The valve is reversed for the cool mode. Pumping cool gas to the indoor unit and hot gas to the outdoor unit.
Because it is a heat pump, meant to be able to either heat or cool the home, depending on the season.
If the unit works in the heat mode, then the problem is usually located in the outdoor unit.
The Trane Model 4TWX4048B1000 is a heat pump. Heat pumps can both heat and cool spaces by transferring heat, whereas condensing units typically only cool. This specific model is designed for year-round comfort by providing both heating and cooling capabilities.
Refrigerators remove heat from inside the unit and expel it outside in order to cool the interior. This process is facilitated by the refrigeration cycle, where refrigerant absorbs heat inside the fridge and releases it outside, keeping the interior cool.
You can identify a heat pump by checking your heating and cooling system. Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling through one unit, unlike traditional furnaces or air conditioners. If your system has an outdoor unit that runs during both summer and winter, it is likely a heat pump.
A split system heat pump is a type of HVAC system that provides both heating and cooling. It consists of two main components: an outdoor unit that extracts heat from the air and an indoor unit that distributes the heat or cool air throughout the building. The heat pump works by transferring heat from one place to another using a refrigerant cycle, allowing it to provide warmth in the winter and cool air in the summer.
