Greetings! I recently moved to Virginia and my 7year old home has a heat pump. During the summer, the "air handler" was replaced and a new Honeywell thermostat installed as well. The outside compressor was 5 months old when we moved in last June. Our experience up north has been with gas forced-air furnaces.
We're freezing in this place! The house seems poorly insulated to begin with and with the recent cold nights, the unit seems to run almost constantly during the night with only 10 minute breaks. Then the "auxiliary heating" message lights up on the thermostat occasionally and I'm told that's not good either. I need help understanding this type of heating system!
