Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my heat pump feel like it’s blowing cold air?
Heat pumps produce lower-temperature air than furnaces. If auxiliary heat isn’t working or airflow is restricted, the air may feel cool even when the system is operating.
When should auxiliary heat turn on?
Auxiliary heat typically activates when outdoor temperatures drop or when the system can’t maintain set temperature. If it never comes on, a repair may be needed.
Is it normal for my heat pump to ice up?
Light frost is normal, but heavy ice buildup or failure to defrost indicates a problem that should be inspected.
