Heat pump vs regular gas heat

I really don't much about this, so I am asking. What is the difference. I used my heat pump once, I have my air conditioning on the roof.
I guess I am asking when do use one or the other?

  • I typically use my heat pump when electricity is included in the site rental. If I am on a meter, I will use my propane furnaces.

    I try to stay away from areas where the temp gets too low for the heat pump to be effective! :B
  • Heat pump will only work to about freezing temps, my MH will automatically switch to propane if the heat pump will not keep the temp set.

    Works well in campgrounds where I do not have to pay for electric - although my propane seems to last forever and is not terribly expensive
