Refrigerant
An Amana heat pump works just like an air conditioner would work. When the temperature outside starts falling, the heat pump automatically turns on and by reversing the process of turning air cold, it heats the air instead, thus allowing you to keep your home warm.
Jose Vallejo invented the Geothermal Heat pump
the heat pump is cheaper but the pump does not work as well when its below 40 out side thats when you want to run heat strip
No.

A heat pump may struggle to keep up with cold weather because it becomes less efficient as the temperature drops. Heat pumps work by transferring heat from the outside air into your home, but when it's very cold outside, there is less heat available to transfer. This can make it harder for the heat pump to maintain a comfortable temperature indoors.
It is generally not recommended to turn off your heat pump in extreme cold weather, as it may struggle to efficiently heat your home when turned back on. It is best to keep your heat pump running consistently to maintain a comfortable temperature and prevent potential damage from freezing temperatures.
For sure i do
In a Cold Climate and Hot Climate: Each ton of heat pump capacity can heat/cool approximately 500-600 square feet.In a Moderate Climate: Each ton of heat pump capacity can heat/cool 600-700 square feet.So either a 5.0 ton heat pump in a cold climateor a 4.5 ton heat pump in a moderate climate.
An Amana heat pump works just like an air conditioner would work. When the temperature outside starts falling, the heat pump automatically turns on and by reversing the process of turning air cold, it heats the air instead, thus allowing you to keep your home warm.
A heat pump operates efficiently below freezing temperatures by using a backup heating system, such as electric resistance heating, to provide additional heat when the outside air is too cold for the heat pump to extract enough heat. This allows the heat pump to continue operating efficiently and effectively in cold weather.
The heat pump auxiliary heat may be always on if the temperature outside is very cold and the heat pump alone cannot efficiently heat the home. The auxiliary heat helps provide additional warmth when needed.
no just a water pump to keep engine cool
A heat pump is designed to extract heat from the outside air, even during cold weather. It uses this extracted heat to warm the indoor air. This is why a heat pump blows warm air instead of cold air during operation.
That is exactly how a heat pump works in heating mode are you sure it's not a heat pump?
The auxiliary heat may be running for a long time because the main heat pump is struggling to keep up with the desired temperature, especially in very cold weather. This can happen when the heat pump is not efficient enough to meet the heating demands of the home, so the auxiliary heat kicks in to provide additional warmth.
A heat pump can freeze up due to low refrigerant levels, restricted airflow, or extremely cold temperatures.
