said by Hydraglass :Out of curiousity, what is the outside temperature at your location? If it's around or below the freezing mark, your heat pump pretty much can't extract any heat from the ambient air and will just blow cold air - and you have to use the supplemental electric heat. I don't know where people get this idea. Well, I do, actually. Builders cheap out and put in an undersized heat pump, and then people think that heat pumps don't work. It depends on the heat pump. Mine works to about 22 degrees before the aux heat kicks in. A properly sized heat pump is very efficient. |
