It takes a few minutes of run time for the compressor to warm up the discharge gas, which is the heat source.

Should your outdoor HVAC compressor run when your heater is on?

no sounds like your wires are crossed at your thromsthat Answer If you have a heat pump system, YES the compressor should run. You can find out if the system is a heat pump usually by looking at the thermostat. Heat pump thermostats usually have "Cool-Off-Heat-Emergency Heat" on the system switch. Another way would be to feel the air coming out of the outside unit when the heat is on. If the air coming out feels very cold, then it's a heat pump. even if you have a heat pump, the only way the in door unit should be producing heat is if you are all electric if you are gas the heat pump should lockout to prevent the persure from getting to high causing the indoor coil to blow up.

Is it possible for your air conditioner and heater to blow at the same time?

Probably not but it can switch from heat to ac if this answers your question First responder is correct, if you have a system know as a heat pump. If you have separate heat and A/C , having you A/C turned to extreme cool may cause your heat to come on. A window unit blowing hot and cold simultaneously is indicative of the A/C motor overheating, and could be dangerous.

Why would a hotel-style heater blow cold and hot air at the same time and other times not work at all?

If the unit is a heat pump, and the fan switch is set to ON, the unit compressor will cycle to maintain room temperature. Thus, it would blow hot or cold, depending on if the compressor was on, and the thermostat was calling for heat. Turn the fan switch to off, and let the thermostat bring the fan on. Not working part, no comment on that.
