Carrier Heat pump/Electric to Gas conversion?

This may sound as stupid question but is this even possible? So we got our house just past summer, its fairly large so it has 2 of everything. One side of the house carrier heat pump installed in 2013 and the other side also carrier heat pump installed in 2016. Not sure if this matters but it has electric heating elements in furnace unit, I'm assuming that's what's it called. System works great, both even have humidifiers installed and large 5" thick filters.
We had natural has put in and the only thing that's running from it is Reznor unit in the garage and they did run 1.5" gas line to first utility room and capped it there.
So my question is this, do we have to rip out units outside that also act as AC as well as whatever part that is inside if we were switch to gas? I figured maybe carrier is somewhat modular and i can just replace whatever needs to be replaced so it runs on gas. I'm sorry, we never had heat pump before i don't know exactly how they operate or what components are even called. Previous house had normal gas furnace (york) and a/c coil outside and i knew exactly how everything worked there.

Thank you.
