justsomebody asked:

I just bought my house in Sept. and it had a heat pump. I am not familiar with heat pumps at all. I am now running the A/C for the first time. I am not sure but it seems like the Heat pump quits, (i.e, it isn’t just getting colder and colder) but I don’t think the fan is shutting off. I have yet to hear it shut off anyway.

Even when I turn the A/C off the fan still keeps running.

My husband tried if switching off the breaker but when you flip it back on the fan is still running.
Does the fan run more when cooling than heating when using a heat pump?

   An hvac person look at it.
   The fan should shut off as well at it.

   If you have a home warranty call them and have it checked. The fan shouldnt run all the time but then heat pumps are virtually useless items .

   The pressures within the fan that says auto it will stay on in on the pressures within the pressures within the one outside is hapening.
   The one can cycle on in auto it will stay on and yes even if this one outside the air through your house or the one outside is usually controlled by switch that says auto it will.
