DieselDude Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Do we have any HVAC Techs here? I am having a slight issue and the guy that put mine in is out of town and I do not feel like bothering him or calling another company to look at it.

DieselDude Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 It is a Carrier Performance Series Single Stage Heatpump with Variable Speed Air Handler with Electric Aux Heat. It has been in service for 14 months now. Now when the outside unit goes thru the defrost cycle the electric heat will not come on. While it is defrosting it blows cold air indoors until the outdoor unit finishes the cycle. I have checked everything that I can think of (all the settings in the thermostat, breakers, wiring, etc). It worked last winter perfect no problems but now we have issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFairbanks Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I don't have a heat pump. I skipped out on that due to my local climate and didn't think it would be beneficial. I did however find this. My first thought when I read your problem was a refrigerant leak. Common HVAC Problems, Heat pump blowing cold air, Not heating, HVAC Troubleshooter Why Does My Heat Pump Blow Cold Air - Ask.com Hope this may help if you haven't already corrected your problem. Heat Pump is something I don't know much about. Other aspects of HVAC I know a fair amount, after getting hosed the first go around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
