Common Questions
Why is my heat pump blowing cold air?
For a few minutes during a defrost cycle, that's normal. If it keeps going, the usual causes are a stuck reversing valve, low refrigerant or a thermostat set to the wrong mode.
Is it normal for a heat pump to freeze?
A thin layer of frost in winter is normal, and the defrost cycle should clear it. Heavy ice that stays usually means a defrost control or airflow problem.
