Hello,
What is a "heat pump"?
All i can find on the Internet is talk about the compressor
of the heat pump, however they often show a picture of a
tall box-looking thingy standing along side of the
compressor, but never say a thing about it. I donot even
know the name of the "box". What is in the box? I know
the fan is in it, however i think there is something else in
there - scary- huh?
Here on this site

they talk about:

“Heat Pumps, Split System, Electric Heat and AirConditioning”

Then it gets confusing . . .

“What is a “split system”“ may be a better question than
“What is a heat pump”. Does it mean a heat pump system
can be a one system and a split system also (in that the
compressor is in that mystery box or what all is in the
mystery box is in the compressor, thus making it a “one
system”), or does it mean a heat pump and a split system
are two entirely different animals, and if so what are they
in comparison to one another?

I was told if i put gas heat in i will be in the same category
as a seller trying to sell a house with a swimming pool - it
is hard to sell, so i guess i will have to put back the heat
pump - split system whatever. For 13 years ihave been
calling the thing that was drug out of here a “heat pump”,
but was it a heat pump? Its box is still here in the hall in a
sort of closet. In there is the central fan i use to circulate
air through the ducts. It runs off the now gone heat pump
whatever thermostat. Underneath is the air intake, which i
have highly filtered (two filters), one metal sort of filter i
paid more than i can remember (it was 3 figures) that fits
snug under the floor on which the box sits, and then i have
another one covering the screen at the hole in the hall wall
that leads into the box’s closet - it is at the floor. You can
open it, and in there is nothing (on the floor that is) unless
you stick your head into the hole and look up. I never did
that so i donot know what you would see, however i guess
it would be the box’s bottom/feet who knows or the floor
the box sits on with a hole in it for the air vent?.
The old heating unit used to run air conditioning when you
switched the thermostat one way and heat when you
switched it the other way. For some reason it stopped
running. People said it was because it was old (i took that
personal like) and also said the fins were rusted from the
salt air - no one ever said anything about the box, so i guess
all ihave to do is plunk a compressor whatever right down
where the “old” one was and hook up the new one the same
way (after i find out what it was: split system or heat pump
whatever)?
