What else can I help you with?
Is it normal for a heat pump fan to stop when the temperature is near freeezing?
Yes, when the fan stops and the compressor keeps running it is in defrost mode. You should also be running auxilliary heat while this is happening.
Why does heat pump compressor freeze?
A heat pump compressor will freeze if the refrigerant levels are low or the outside temperatures are too low. This will cause the pressure to drop inside the system and temperatures to plummet.
Can you pump down a heat pump system in heat mode just as you would do in the cool mode?
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
Why is the heat pump compressor not turning on?
The heat pump compressor may not be turning on due to issues such as a faulty thermostat, electrical problems, low refrigerant levels, or a malfunctioning compressor. It is recommended to contact a professional HVAC technician to diagnose and fix the problem.
What are the pressures on a heat pump in the off mode?
Equal
Can we run our heat pump to heat the house even though the compressor is not working?
No. The compressor is needed to run in reverse in order to pull warm air from the outside to heat the home.
Why is the ac and heat working at the same time?
The ac unit compressor will run when it is in defroster mode and heat setting is on.
Does EmHeat costs more than the heat pump mode in an airconditioning system?
yes it does as the heat pump is more effeciant.
Why is a heat pump able to heat and cool the same building?
A heat pump is an air conditioner working in reverse. When the unit is in cooling mode, it moves heat from the interior to the exterior. When the unit is in heat mode, it moves heat from the exterior to the interior.In most cases, the thermostat controls the necessary components that perform the reversing process necessary to change from heating mode to cooling mode.
Can you buy a used heat pump compressor?
Sure, just look on craigslist. Everything is on there.
What does a heat pump do in your homes?
A heat pump acts as a furnace in heat mode to warm the home in the winter, then acts as an air conditioner in the summer to cool the home.
Can you replace a straight ac compressor with a heat pump compresser?
The compressors are basically the same . Very simply put with out getting to technical is what makes a heat pump a heat pump is a reversing valve that changes the direction the refrigerant travels in lines leading to and from the condensing unit and to the coil, without changing direction of flow in they compressor. You should always check with the manufacture before replacing an unlike compressor for compatibility.
