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.

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 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.
