How Do I Know My Heat Pump Is in Defrost Mode?Updated 2 months ago

When a heat pump enters defrost mode, you may notice one or more of the following:

  • Indoor heating temporarily stops
  • Indoor air feels cool or lukewarm for a short time
  • The outdoor unit may produce steam or vapor
  • The outdoor fan may stop running while the compressor continues

These symptoms can look unusual, but they are expected behavior during a defrost cycle.
