We lives in a Mobile Home/Marshall Home and we currently have central Heat and Air but now we are considering in getting a Heat Pump Install. Could you please explain to me what is a heat pump? Will this save you money with electric?

A heat pump is the same as a air conditioner but has a valve that lets it heat in the winter and cool in the summer. By using the compressor in the outside unit to act as a multiplier so to speak you save on your utility bills.

Actually when installed correctly it will save quite a bit of money depending upon what kind of other heat you also use which you did not say. Gas,oil,electric?

That is usually a self contained unit that sits outside. It usually contains all the HVAC for the home.
