Does the outside unit run when the heat is on?

Yes, the outside unit of a heating system typically runs when the heat is on to help transfer heat from the outside air to the inside of the building.


Does the fan outside on the unit have to work for the central heating unit?

is it really run ning or is it possible that you have a heat pump system and it is the heating portion of the system operating?


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


Why does your outside air condenser run when your heat is on?

What kind of heat do you have? Heat Pump? Be glad it runs.


Should the outside unit be running when you use the fan or on option instead of turning on the AC?

The outdoor unit only runs in the AC mode(unless it is a heat pump). If you have the system off and the fan on, the outdoor unit should not be on. You can run the indoor fan only without harming the system.


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 does your outside ac unit fan blow air down?

If it is not supposed to blow air in that direction, the motor is going backwards. The run capacitor has probably failed. Unless the motor was recently replaced then it is either the wrong motor or it is miswired.


Is it normal for an electric heat pump fan on the unit that is outside the house to run almost continuously?

Yes, it is normal for the electric heat pump fan to run almost continuously during cold weather to maintain a consistent indoor temperature. This is part of the heat pump's operation to effectively transfer heat from the outside to the inside of the house. However, if you notice any unusual sounds or issues with the heat pump, it's best to have it inspected by a professional.


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.


What will happen if you run a window air conditioner inside?

A common misconception is that A/C units generate cold. However, Air conditioning works as a heat exchange system, so it removes heat from indoors and pushes it outside. By running a window A/C unit inside you are just moving the heat from one side of the a/c unit to the other, and since it is not a 100% efficient machine, you will in fact be generating heat and create an overall rise in temperature.


Outside Heat Pump Air Flow?

In order to operate at optimal efficiency, the outside air conditioning unit should be shielded from strong winds. These winds may reduce the heat transfer efficiency of the coils. This may cause the unit to work harder, run longer and use more electricity. Outdoor units should not be set up in confined areas that allow air to be re-circulated over the coil. The proper clearance around the unit is a minimum of three feet. Ensuring that the outside unit is on a level surface with good air flow, will improve the heating and cooling performance of your air conditioner.


You can hear the condensing unit outside is there a way to quiet the unit?

Try putting a sound blanket over the compressor. Will that make the compressor run hot?
