The defrost timer, thermostat or logic board, whichever you have is probably bad. To quickly remove the ice build up on the outdoor unit switch it to run the ac for a few minutes or until the ice clears.
What size of central and heat unit do you need for 916 sq ft?
Only if the outside unit is a heat pump.
You have to thaw it out.
sounds like t stat is programmed wrong, reversing valve coil is bad or reversing valve is stuck.
Is the whole unit running or just the fan? My thermostat has the option to run the fan only at all times and also runs the fan when the temperature gets too high (or low) in the house.
do you have a heat pump? are you running unit in heat? if so and the steam is comming from outside unit, this is normal in the units defrost cycle
I think the question needs more definition. Most places there is heat running in the winter, and heaters running dry out air, so I would like to specifically like to know the reason for this question.
It means that the unit is low in freon and the line temperature is to low.
It will not work right.
Central HVAC provides central air conditioning, central heating, and central ventilation packaged in one unit. As such it will heat, ventilate and cool your home.
Answerthermostat is wired wrong or something damaged thermostat wires. check where they enter (outdoor) unit. may have abraded on metal edge.Sounds like you have a cooling problem somewhere. The light for EM heat is also what we call a "you have a problem light". Does the outdoor unit run at all? Or does your emergency heat actually kick on, heat out of ducts?yes the blower blowsheat out of ducts
my copper lines freezing on central air unit.
