Ruud heat pump to straight cool with heat strips I have a Ruud heat pump going to what was a straight cool with electric heat strips in a mobile home which has no wiring diagram and has 5 connection?

I'm afraid your question is not very clear. Your heat pump is basically an air conditioning unit with back up heat strips. If your thermostat is wired correctly and I'm certain it was from the factory, then the AC and heat strips will never come on at the same time. Is it not going into cooling mode? Ruud has wiring diagrams for most all their equipment on the internet. With a little research, you should be able to find yours. The Model # of your heat pump is the key to that.


What does the EM heat mean on your thermostat for your central AC heating unit?

If you have a heat pump A/C unit then you have auxillary heat and emergency heat. The EM stands for emergency heat, which is using only your electric heat strips or gas heat, depending on your system. The auxillary heat uses your compressor inside of your outside unit. Say the house is 60 degrees inside and you set your stat to 70, the temperature difference is so great that if the heat pump alone cannot satisfy, then the auxillary heat would come on to assist the heat pump. Say you were to get a leak in either your condenser or evaporator coils, your heat pump would not work on the regular heat setting on the tstat. In this circumstance you would want to use just the emergency heat until a service tech can evaluate the system.


Why ac unit is blowing hot air inside the house but outside unit blows cold air?

Sounds like your system is a heat pump. When a heat pump cools in the summer, the inside coil gets cold and the outside coil gets hot. When the heat pump heats in the winter, the inside coil gets hot, and the outside coil gets cold. It sounds like your heat pump is stuck in heating mode. Check your thermostat to be sure it didn't accidentally get switched to heat. It could be the reversing valve inside the unit is stuck, or an electrical control is broken, forcing the reversing valve to stay in the heating position. Perhaps a call to the serviceman is in order!


Describe why variable speed compressor motors are more efficient than single speed motors in heat pump systems?

This type of compressor uses a special drive to control The speed of the unit. Also, saves more energy than a fixed speed equivalent.


How do you calculate the watts of a central air and heat unit?

You should not have to calculate the watts of the unit. All the information that you need will be on the nameplate of the unit. It is this information that electricians use to calculate the conductor size and breaker to supply the power to the unit.

What is the seer rating of a heil condensing unit model number n4a34bgkb200 and is this a heat pump?

This is a straight cool 13 SEER condensing unit that uses R410a refrigerant. This is not a heat pump.


Can you use a straight cool cond unit with a heat pump air handler?

Yes. As long as the capacity, efficiency, and refrigerant are the same.


What is the difference between a refrigerator and a heat pump?

A refrigerator is designed to cool things down by removing heat from inside the unit, while a heat pump can both cool and heat spaces by transferring heat from one place to another.

Can you replace your straight cool AC condensing unit to a same size unit with heat pump?

Hi, Good question and the answer is ( YES! ) as long <<<< as you are not taking up any fancy ideas of using it as a heat pump. Wire it in and set the reversing valve to stay on cool cycle and never reverse to heat and viola. Some units use energized reversing valve during cool and some de-energized. Its easy to find out. Just try it. Hope this helps: Jimiwane


How does a heat pump use freon to heat?

A valve is used to reverse the flow of freon. In the heat mode, the high or hot side gas is pumped to the indoor unit, The low or cold side is pumped to the outdoor unit. The valve is reversed for the cool mode. Pumping cool gas to the indoor unit and hot gas to the outdoor unit.


Why does the cooling unit have a heater at the top?

Because it is a heat pump, meant to be able to either heat or cool the home, depending on the season.


What is wrong if your home heat pump system blows hot air fine but won't blow cool air?

If the unit works in the heat mode, then the problem is usually located in the outdoor unit.


Do the refrigerator get the heat out or cool in?

Refrigerators remove heat from inside the unit and expel it outside in order to cool the interior. This process is facilitated by the refrigeration cycle, where refrigerant absorbs heat inside the fridge and releases it outside, keeping the interior cool.


How do you know if you have a heat pump?

You can identify a heat pump by checking your heating and cooling system. Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling through one unit, unlike traditional furnaces or air conditioners. If your system has an outdoor unit that runs during both summer and winter, it is likely a heat pump.


What is a split system heat pump and how does it work to provide heating and cooling in a residential or commercial setting?

A split system heat pump is a type of HVAC system that provides both heating and cooling. It consists of two main components: an outdoor unit that extracts heat from the air and an indoor unit that distributes the heat or cool air throughout the building. The heat pump works by transferring heat from one place to another using a refrigerant cycle, allowing it to provide warmth in the winter and cool air in the summer.


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.
