Heating FAQs
Why is my heat pump blowing cool air in heat mode?
Heat pumps deliver air that is warm rather than hot (typically 85°F to 92°F). However, if the air feels distinctly cold, you may have a stuck reversing valve, low refrigerant, or a bad outdoor sensor.
Why is my outdoor heat pump covered in frost or ice?
Light frost during cold weather is normal, but heavy ice accumulation indicates a faulty defrost control board, bad defrost sensor, or low refrigerant level.
What is auxiliary heat on my thermostat?
Auxiliary heat is supplemental electric resistance heat that kicks in when the outdoor temperature drops too low for the heat pump to warm the home efficiently on its own.
How long should a residential heat pump last in coastal North Carolina?
Most heat pumps in coastal environments last 10 to 12 years due to moisture and salt air, but routine maintenance helps maximize performance and life expectancy.
Can I replace just my outdoor unit or do I need to replace both units?
Replacing both the indoor air handler and outdoor condenser ensures matched system performance, preserves manufacturer warranties, and optimizes energy efficiency.
How often should I have my heating system serviced?
We recommend scheduling a heating tune-up once every autumn before turning your system on for the first cold weather stretch.
