I noticed a few weeks back that our temperature control temperatures would not get higher than 60 degrees.
In order to get wonderful heating, I had to run emergency heat. With a bit of googling I deduced that emergency heating is twice as fancy. This is meant for when the heat pump system cannot give the usual amount of heat. It is love getting turbo speed for quick, fancy boosts. Since the outdoor temperatures were only in the upper forties, lower fifties, I was upset. I don’t want to spend money extra for heating unless I need to. I called a Heating, Ventilation, and A/C professional instantly to check out our furnace. The guy asked myself and others if I noticed the air coming out of the vents being cold, but yeah, I definitely did notice the air had been a bit cold lately. He told myself and others our issue is a shot wire on our outdoor Heating, Ventilation, and A/C unit, the air compressor. The wire connectes to a valve that runs electric. In the Summer the electric turns on for the A/C function. For heating, no electric through the wire needs to happen. The guy thinks the wire had a short in it, and only electric is running through it to the valve. So although I am running the furnace, the air compressor thinks I want AC. So in reality, I was running the cooling system until I decided to make the change to emergency heat. The guy then had to run a whole new wire for the system. I felt bad for the guy. He had to stay outside in the cold for hours duringside enjoying our new heat.
