Important Facts You Should
Know About Your Heat Pump

• During the cooling season, the heat pump operates like a conventional system.
Do Not turn the air conditioning system off. Part-time cooling is poor economy. If
•
the system is left off during the morning, the home will soak up heat and be more
difficult to cool in the afternoon. You can actually save money by letting the
thermostat determine when cooling is needed.
• During the hot, dry seasons, we recommend keeping the air conditioner blower on
continuously. The air conditioning unit cools more evenly when the blower switch is
in the ON position. The blower provides refreshing air movement and even
temperatures throughout the home. The blow er also circulates air through the filter,
which helps remove dust, lint and other pollutants more efficiently.
• Shades, drapes, shutters, or screens should be installed on windows that are
exposed to direct sunlight. Also, plant a tress or put up a canopy to protect your
windows from the direct sun.
During the heating season, the heat pump will deliver warm air , but not hot air
•
like other systems, and will operate for long periods of time. THIS IS NORMAL
Remember, air which is 80 degrees is warm air and will heat the house even though
it may feel cool to a hand, which is 98 degrees.
• During the cold weather , frost w ill accumulateon the outdoor coil. This will cause
the heat pump to go into a defrost cycle
running and you will hear the humming of the compressor and feel cool air coming
from the registers. You may also notice steam or water runoff from the outdoor unit
and hear a “whooshing” sound. THIS IS A NORMAL FUNCTION DURING THE
DEFROST CYCLE. Do not turn off the unit, change the temperature, or adjust the
thermostat during this cycle. The defrost cycle will last from 1-10 minutes depending
on the amount of ice on the coil. Then the unit will return to the heating mode.
• Night setback during the heating season is NOT recommended. The heat pump is
not designed to raise space temperatures quickly.
. During this cycle, the outdoor fan will stop
.
For cooling and heating . . . Leave your thermostat alone. When you have fou nd
•
a temperature that you prefer , it is best to leave the thermostat at that setting.
• Clean or replace the filters frequently. Dirty filters will lower performance and
efficiency of your cooling. The filters are usually located at the return grille or at the
indoor section of your unit.
