Sounds like the reversing valve may be stuck in the cooling mode... Better call a Tech cuz it is not something you can fix. unless you know what it looks like you could try tapping on it a bit to see if it re engages...

heres how its supposed to work lets say the house is 70 degrees to start.
you turn up the stat to 72. you call for heat. this should energize the compressor (yellow) and air handler fan (green or blue) the orange wire is the reversing valve. the un energized state of the reversing valve is in the heat mode, so the orange wire will not be hot in the heat mode.
ok if you turn the stat up to lets say 75 (the house is still 70) most stats kick into emergency heat. this means that the white (heat strips) wire will be hot. some stats kill the outside unit, some dont.
the point is, raise the temp no more than 2 degrees at a time to avoid going into emergency heat mode. if there is a big differance in the set point and the actual room temp, the stat thinks that the heat pump has failed in some way, end turns on the heat strips.
if you dont have the stat configured right, the air handler will acr like an electric furnace. so check the dip switches/programming on the stat.
if you have the stat set to emer/aux heat the heat pump will be totally disabled. check the setting.
all my best,

hope you read this, (I know it is a little late). Check the setting on the thermostat. Some have three settings, not two. You could have easily pushed the switch past the heat mode and to the emergency.

Ok---so you are running on straight electric heating now -- it"s really a supplemental heater , and not intented as a whole house heating . A few things can do this -- it"s propably best if I just suggest you call a pro out on this one. A sensor is likely.

It's broken. Call a repair person to fix it.
