what is the difference in a package air condition unit and a package unit heat pump?

We want to install central heat and air and don’t know the difference between these products

Edit
A heat pump is a popular style of air conditioner which has the capability to heat with the refrigeration cycle as well as to cool with it. The biggest differences are the refrigerant reversing valve, a defrost feature and the dual -action room thermostat used in and with the A/C heat pump. The functions of the evaporator and the condenser are swapped so that heat is removed from the outside air and released through the inside coil..
Depending on the local temperature, a heat pump will heat without the need of supplemental heating be it electrical resistance heaters built into the unit or auxiliary gas or oil-fired heaters. Its coeficient of performance will be around 3 to 1 when heat is begun to be needed , but will diminish with colder weather. I would not recommended anything but an available heat pump in moderate climates because of the simplicity of the installation and the low energy heating capability for the many cold days during which there are few temperatures below about 25F. Even then, the heat pump will be performing well until about 15 F. Supplemental heating (electric, gas, oil) will be needed , but the heat pump will have delayed that need and done so with a power saving in the meanwhile. The same might be said even for colder climates because most of the time the low temperatures are still occurring a low percentage of the time.
If gas is a less expensive heating medium than electricity, then a combination of systems could be recommended.
If gas is really less expensive than electric power for the whole year, perhaps more of the gas -heating / gas- fired absorption coolers will be made available.

Some people do not like a heat pump because they have been used to hot air blowing out the grilles while warm air is discharged by the heat pump.
