How do you remove ice from outside heat pump when temp is below 16 degrees?

Disconnect the outdoor fan and run the AC until the ice is gone. Be sure to turn off the power when disconnecting/reconnecting the fan. Call someone to get the proper long term fix done, there is a problem with your defrost cycle and it will freeze again.

How do you change Mercury powder into liquid Mercury?
You will need to cool it below -39 degrees Celsius (-38.83, plus remove the heat of fusion).
Does heat move in or out of water cooled below 0 degrees?
Out
How do people cope with living in hot and dry climates?
they spend alot of time outside. Also they barely ware clothes to remove the excess heat
Is my Home Heat Pump thermostat working?
A person can tell if their home heat pump thermostat is working by setting the temperature a few degrees above or below ambient to see if it kicks on. A thermometer can be used to verify the temperature.
How much heat does it take to melt helium?
To melt helium, it requires extremely low temperatures rather than heat. Helium becomes a liquid at temperatures below -268 degrees Celsius (-450 degrees Fahrenheit) and does not require significant amounts of heat to transition from its gaseous state to a liquid state.
Should a heat pump cool below 59 degrees?
A heat pump generally has a max temperature change of 20 degrees F. If air entering the return duct is 90, it will not be cooler than 70 on the discharge side, Below 60, it is working against the insulation and air infiltration into the house. It is an air conditioner, not a deep freeze. Remember that a heat pump either dumps heat outside to cool a house, or picks up heat from outside to heat the house. If it is 100 degrees outside, it is hard to dump heat. Below 35, it is hard to pick up heat. At an outside temp of 59 degrees, it should work for either- but nobody needs cooling when it is 59 degrees outside. Open a window, already!.
Why is there an electric heating coil in a heat pump?
Heat pumps don't work well when the temperature outside drops below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. The way a heat pump works is by absorbing heat from outside and moving inside using the refrigerant. Much like an air conditioner absorbs the heat from inside of your home and moves it out. Therefore the colder it is outside the less heat a heat pump can produce. The reason they install electric heat strips is to ensure that when the temperature outside gets below 40 you will still have enough heat available to heat the property.

What heat are pumps?
A better way to heat and cool your home - but it may be expensive in the git go. Heat pumps have a problem heating with temperatures below 35 degrees. They can't provide heat if it is below 35 degrees outside. Pipes are laid under ground to use the 55 degree amibent heat there and the heater with 55 degree coolant, the heat is extacted by the heatpump to warm your house. They can also work in the reverse to cool homes. Acting similar to a refrigerator, heat pumps can draw heat from the home and transfer it into the ground and tamp into the cooler ground temperature.
Is there a furnace that dosent break down for too much heat or too much cold?
Unfortunately, most domestic A/C units are designed to be set at 20 degrees below the outside ambient temperature. Setting it lower will overstress the system. So if it's 100 degrees outside, then your A/C should be set to 80 degrees to avoid breakdown.
What is difference between auxiliary heat and emergency heat?
None. There is no difference. Auxiliary heat and Emergency heat are synonymous. It is the electric heat strips that kick on whenever the outside temperature drops too low (below 30 degrees or thereabouts) for the heat pump to efficiently heat the house. The electric strips are a little more expensive to run, but they will heat the house.
How could you use emanate in a sentence?
The heat emanated from the streets, as it was 90 degrees outside.
What are geothermal heat pumps?

Can you switch the air conditioner on to melt the ice on the outside air conditioner unit even if it is 30 degrees outside and the heat was on?
yes you can
Why is the auxillary heat on a heat pump system staying on?
Because it is cold outside and the HP is useless below 35* or so.
Are heat pumps efficient below 30 degrees?
The new generation of heat pumps are efficient below thirty. Just make sure the one you buy is designed for your climate.
