What else can I help you with?
Will the fan run during the heat cycle on a heat pump?
Yes both indoor and outdoor fans will operate, the only time 1 will stop in heat mode is in defrost the outdoor one stops briefly to defrost better,
Why is there steam coming from your home ac?
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
Can a timed defrost be changed to on demand defrost on a heat pump?
It can, but for safety call or check with the banned that you have
How does a heat pump defrost itself?
A heat pump defrosts itself by reversing its cycle to temporarily warm up the outdoor coil. This melts any ice buildup on the coil, allowing the heat pump to continue operating efficiently. The melted ice typically drains away or evaporates.
How heat pump used to heat the building?
Imagine a window AC unit installed backwards, rejecting heat indoors while air conditioning the world, this is a heat pumps heat mode. As the unit is air conditioning in the cool outdoors eventually the outdoor coil will ice up requiring a defrost cycle, defrost is the AC mode except the outdoor fans off to assist with the defrosting. A defrost cycle is time and temperature initiated, time or temperature terminated.

Ice on heat pump?
Ice on a heat pump is completely normal. In operation the heatpump removes heat from outside air and delivers this heat into the home. When the temperature falls below about 45F and the humidity is high enough the moisture condenses on the heat pump fins. The heat pumps have sensors to detect the ice buildup and will reverse every 40 to 90 minutes to defrost the external coils and restore the ability to move air through the fins. If the system runs, builds up ice and does not periodically defrost itself the system is in need of service as the defrost cycle is not being initiated properly.
How do you defrost a heat pump?
To defrost a heat pump, you typically need to switch it to the defrost mode, which temporarily reverses the refrigeration cycle to warm the outdoor coils and melt any accumulated ice. Make sure the heat pump runs for a sufficient duration to allow the melting process to occur. Additionally, ensure that the air filter and outdoor unit are clean to promote efficient airflow, which can help prevent excessive ice buildup. If ice continues to form, it may indicate a maintenance issue that requires professional attention.
What causes the heater to come on for a few seconds then shut off then back on in a short period of time no mater what the temperature setting?
Your heat pump is going through a defrost cycle.
What controls the heat pump to determine whether it is in the heating cycle or the cycle?
what controls the heat pump to determine whether it is in the heating cycle or cooling cycle
Why does a heat pump freeze up in summer?
A HEAT PUMP IS AN A/C UNIT OPERATING IN THE REVERSE MODE. THE OUTDOOR UNIT BECOMES THE EVAPORATOR. THE OUTDOOR UNIT IS MOVING HEAT REMOVED FROM THE OUTSIDE AIR TO THE INDOOR AIR USING THE REFRIGERATION CYCLE. TO MAKE THE CYCLE WORK, WE HAVE TO "EVAPORATE" THE REFRIGERANT AT A TEMPERATURE BELOW THE OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE. THIS TEMPERATURE IS MORE TIMES THAN NOT, BELOW FREEZING, HENCE THE FORMATION OF ICE. OPERATION IN THE "HEAT" MODE, BUILDING ICE, REQUIRES THE USE OF A DEFROST CYCLE TO REMOVE THE ICE EVERY SO OFTEN. LC
