A heat pump acts as a furnace in heat mode to warm the home in the winter, then acts as an air conditioner in the summer to cool the home.
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.

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.

There is no state requirement for a home in Alaska to have an air heat pump and therefore it will vary from home to home whether one is present in the home.
A heat pump is a heating system that applies the principle of refrigeraation to heating homes. These principles are: 1. when a gas is quickly compressed, it's temperature rises; 2. when a gas is allowed to expand suddenly it's temperature fallls; 3. when a liquid evaporates, it absorbs heat; and 4. when a gas condenses it releases heat.
It depends on the layout of your home (1 or multiple stories?), how many windows, insulation, climate, and roofing. Factoring in all this, in a moderate climate you need a bigger heat pump. On average, in a moderate climate, you need a 2.0 ton heat pumpp in a cold/hot climate you need a 2.5 ton heat pump.
A hydronic heat pump offers energy efficiency, cost savings, and consistent heating and cooling in homes. It uses water to transfer heat, providing comfortable temperatures year-round while reducing energy consumption and environmental impact.

Yes, there is a difference between a geothermal heat pump and a traditional heat pump. A geothermal heat pump uses the ground or water as a heat source in the winter and a heat sink in the summer, whereas a traditional heat pump typically uses outdoor air as the heat source or sink. Geothermal heat pumps are more energy efficient and environmentally friendly compared to traditional heat pumps.
A heat pump and a refrigerant system both use refrigerant to transfer heat. The refrigerant absorbs heat from one area (such as indoors in a heat pump) and releases it in another area (such as outdoors in a heat pump). The main difference is that a heat pump can both heat and cool a space, while a refrigerant system is typically used for cooling only.
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.
