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.
