To determine the appropriate size heat pump for a 1,150 square foot house, you generally need about 20-30 BTUs per square foot, depending on factors like climate, insulation, and specific heating/cooling needs. This means you would likely require a heat pump with a capacity ranging from approximately 23,000 to 34,500 BTUs. It's best to consult with an HVAC professional for a precise calculation based on your home's unique characteristics.
No, the heat pump will also cool the home.
Heat pump. (electricity)
A heat pump is often used in air conditioning units and refrigerators because a heat pump is used to transfer heat from one place to another. Often heat pumps are used to remove heat from a building
Yes, not a problem.
Window units are used to heat specific areas of the home. If you want to heat your whole house a heat pump is the better choice.

A heat pump warms a house by transferring heat from outside to inside. This process involves the refrigerant evaporating at a low temperature outside the house to absorb heat, then condensing at a high temperature inside to release that heat. The cycle continues, transferring heat energy from one location to another.
On a thermostat, "EM heating" stands for emergency heating. It heats your house up very quickly, and is costly to run. This is suppose to be used if you've lost heat from your heat pump or if you've turned your thermostat way down and need to heat up your house quickly.
A 4 ton heat pump should be fine, depends on how well your house is insulated. If the house is well insulated you might be fine with a smaller unit.
The most used type of heat pump is the air-source heat pump, which transfers heat between your house and the outside air using conduction. If you heat with electricity, a heat pump can trim the amount of electricity you use for heating by as much as 30% to 40%, even 50%.
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.
