The heart of the heat pump is the Copeland scroll compressor. The compressor continuously pumps the ozone safe refrigerant from the outside coils to the inside coils. The refrigerant carries the heat with it to be released inside the house. Then the warm air is circulated throughout the home by the furnace fan. In the summer the flow of the refrigerant reverses and the house is cooled in the same way.
The scroll compressors are extremely reliable and virtually trouble free. Copeland is the largest manufacturer of heat pump compressors in the United States. Our Goodman heat pumps are built to last with reliable Copeland scroll compressors.
Scroll compressors are very durable because they have fewer parts than the older reciprocating compressors and are also simpler in construction.
Instead of pistons and valves which the older compressors had, the scroll compressor has a scroll that orbits to compress the refrigerant.
I don't know of to many cons about owning a heat pump. Pro's: lower heating bills acts as an air conditioner in the summer Below 30*F outdoor temp they are worthless.
Heating, ventilating, air conditioning systems (HVAC) most often use a refrigerant for cooling and a furnace or heat pump for heating. Both heating and cooling are directed through the same ventilation network.
No.
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
it requires no work. not
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?

Usually a backup heating unit. For instance in a heat pump when the temperature drops below the temperature where the heat pump cannot extract heat from the existing air electric heating elements kick in.

During an emergency. i.e. when the heat pump is not working. If your heat pump can not keep your house warm, then the auxiliary heating coils (same thing as emergency heat) will come on automatically. If not, then there is a problem with your heating system.
only if you have an auto switchover thermostat
