    Recognizing a heat pump
    I moved to Illinois recently from southern Calif. We didn't have heat pumps there and not sure how to know if there is one. Its has central air and heat, but is all electric. I need to buy a programmable thermostat and seem to remember there being provisions for some thermostats acomadating a heat pump.

    A heat pump has the outside unit up on legs, and the outside unit runs in heating mode. And the piping will have lumps at the end with wires running to them. (reversing valves)
