Heat pumps have two methods of producing heat. First they extract whatever heat is available in the outside air and then if necessary, they have a series of small heaters to bring the air up to the desired temperature. The air coming out of the vents may feel cool to touch but, because your body temperature is in the 98 degree area this is normal. So, yes they can produce 70 degrees and efficiently warm your home.

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.


What is a single stage heat pump?

A heatpump that only has one stage of heat and one stage of cool.

Does a refrigerator produce heat?

Yes, a refrigerator does produce heat as part of its cooling process. The heat is generated as the refrigerant inside the refrigerator absorbs and removes heat from the interior, releasing it outside through the condenser coils.


Should the outside fan of an HVAC unit turn on when the heat cycle is on or does it only operate when in the AC cycle?

the fan on the condesenig unit (out side part) of a hvac system will only run when you are in the cooling cycle, unless you have a heatpump , then it will run in the heating cycle also


Does a lighter produce as much heat as a soldering iron?

No, lighter can produce 120 degree Celsius temperature where as soldering iron can produce 420 degree Celsius temperature. the soldering iron is used to join two metal wires.


Is goodman model crt 18-1 a heat pump?

The Goodman CRT-18-1 is NOT a heatpump. It is a 1.5 Ton A/C unit..


When using heat why would ice up on your central heating unit?

Assuming you are talking about a heatpump... Defective defrost timer board or thermostat.


Should the thermostat be set at EM with a heat pump?

only if it is connected to another heat source such as electric strip heat and are having problems with the heatpump. other wise you will get a big surprise when your utility bill comes in the mail.


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.


Can you turn the Heat on to unfreeze the AC coils?

do you have a heatpump or a/c? if it is a heat pump you can,that is what happens when the system goes in to the defrost mode. if its freezing you could be low on charge or or bad defroster board or even worst a bad reverseing valve.


What size heat pump for 21 foot round pool?

The size of the heat pump is not the true question in this case. Most, if not all produce enough btu to heat a pool that size. The true question on a heatpump is how long. The larger the btu rating of the heatpump... the faster the pool water will reach desired temp. Heatpumps should only be used to maintain heat in a pool. The most inefficient way to use a heatpump is to try and raise the pool temp a large temperature differintial at any given time. This type of "on demand" heat will create a scenario where the heatpump runs continuous at its highest capacity until desired temp is obtained, and the highest setting of "heat" on a heatpump is its most inefficient usage of energy. This type of energy usage is only an acceptable practice early in the spring when attempting to raise the pool temp for the first time that anual season. The recommended use for a heatpump is to set the swim temp and allow the heat pump to maintain the temp to extend the swim-ability of the pool one to two months early in the spring and late in the fall. Maintaining the pool temp is a much more efficient use of energy than trying to use a heatpump to create "on demand" heat.
