nope, they don't even install them up there, lived there for 32 years, never saw one, -30 is a bit to low for that
Yes, as long as it a gas system and not a electric heat pump system
is it really run ning or is it possible that you have a heat pump system and it is the heating portion of the system operating?
A heat pump central air system works by transferring heat between the inside and outside of a home. In the winter, it extracts heat from the outside air and brings it inside to warm the home. In the summer, it removes heat from inside the home and releases it outside to cool the home. This process is efficient because it doesn't generate heat, it simply moves it from one place to another.
The thermostat turns on the heat pump and indoor fan. If an electrical sub circuit to or within the heat pump fails or locks out the heat pump, the outdoor part will not turn on.
During an emergency. i.e. when the heat pump is not working. If your heat pump can not keep your house warm, then the auxiliary heating coils (same thing as emergency heat) will come on automatically. If not, then there is a problem with your heating system.
A heat pump and a refrigerant system both use refrigerant to transfer heat. The refrigerant absorbs heat from one area (such as indoors in a heat pump) and releases it in another area (such as outdoors in a heat pump). The main difference is that a heat pump can both heat and cool a space, while a refrigerant system is typically used for cooling only.
No, the heat pump will also cool the home.
Yes a heat pump reverses the function of an air conditioner. Like any refrigerant system if a Technician says "it needs Freon", make sure the leak is repaired first.
On a thermostat, "EM heating" stands for emergency heating. It heats your house up very quickly, and is costly to run. This is suppose to be used if you've lost heat from your heat pump or if you've turned your thermostat way down and need to heat up your house quickly.
No, the energy in a heat pump system must be transfered to another heat pump system because the first law of thermodynamics say that energy cannot be created nor destroyed
what heat pumps or make in u.s.
The heat pump equation used to calculate the efficiency of a heat pump system is the Coefficient of Performance (COP) formula, which is the ratio of the heat output to the work input. It is expressed as COP Qh / W, where Qh is the heat output in watts and W is the work input in watts. A higher COP value indicates a more efficient heat pump system.
