Frequently Asked Questions

How does a heat pump provide heat if it’s freezing outside?

It seems counterintuitive, but even in sub-zero temperatures, there is still thermal energy in the air. A heat pump uses a refrigerant with an extremely low boiling point. As the liquid refrigerant passes through the outdoor evaporator coil, it absorbs heat from the air and turns into a gas. The system then uses a compressor to squeeze that gas, which significantly increases its temperature. This concentrated heat is then pumped indoors to warm your home. Modern “cold climate” heat pumps are engineered to operate efficiently even when outdoor temperatures drop as low as -15°F.

Why is my heat pump "icing up" in the winter, and is it a sign of failure?

It is actually normal for frost to accumulate on the outdoor coils during winter. When the unit absorbs heat, the coil becomes colder than the surrounding air, causing moisture to freeze on contact. To handle this, heat pumps have a defrost cycle. The system temporarily reverses itself, sending hot refrigerant back to the outdoor coil to melt the ice. However, if the entire unit is encased in a thick block of ice and the fan isn’t moving, you likely have a technical failure—such as a faulty reversing valve, a bad defrost control board, or low refrigerant levels—that requires professional service.

What is "Emergency Heat" on my thermostat, and when should I use it?

Most heat pump systems are paired with an electric heat strip or a gas furnace as a “backup” or “auxiliary” heat source. Emergency Heat (EM Heat) is a manual setting that tells the system to bypass the outdoor heat pump entirely and rely 100% on the backup source. You should only use this if your outdoor unit is physically damaged or failing. Because electric backup heat is significantly more expensive to run than the heat pump itself, leaving this setting on unnecessarily can result in a utility bill that is three to four times higher than normal.
