1 out of 4 installs we do is a heat pump dual fuel system. I personally sit down with the homeowner and explain what a heat pump is, gas furnace auxiliary heat, defrost cycle, 40 degree lock out, ice on the condenser, defrost sounds and filter changes for the furnace. Doing that, I eliminated 90% of unnecessary NO CHARGE call backs. Happy customers refer family, friends and neighbors.

I had a heat pump installed recently. Is gas emergency heat. When I put the heat pump on at -5 c outside the furnace fan never shuts off maybe for 5 min. Then continuously run its not cycling. Should it cycle at that temp. I originally ask sales guy from reliance to install a 100 thou btu and he said all I would need is a 85 thou btu. For a 2500 sq ft home. Then it came to install day and they put in a 80 thousand btu. The quotes were for 85 thousand. And I am renting this from them. Could it be under sized for the home and to much heat loss for my older 100 year home. Low insulation

Your problem. Ductwork!! You will continue to have loud compressors and issues. Your ductwork was not sized to the heat pump. You have high static pressure causing the heat not being rejected from the evaporator coil. Has it ever tripped on error codes? Please tell me the installer used the correct evaporator coil in the furnace. Also the furnace and heat pump should never ever run at the same time! Your evaporator coil is infront of the fu mace heat exchanger and will cause massive head pressure and damage to the heat pump compressor. See where im going? These are not a slap it on your furnace hybrid all in one unit. They MUST BE SIZED to the ductwork and habe a non plumber install them!!! Only a heat pump refrigeration tech who has years of hands on installatio should be installing any ducting type air source heat pumps. Or it will FAIL PERIOD!!!

Same as Gree Flexx, Tosot Apex, MrCool Universal. Napoleon may be a Canadian brand but the hardware is made by Gree in China. Side discharge is fine but you have to keep the snow and ice from accumulating in the fan or it won't start, so the same ground stand that is needed for normal heat pumps to keep them out of the snow is also needed for these.

How many Sq foot is your home? The NS-18 Series is a 2 ton HP.

Like yours, I am gas as a secondary source and it'll kick on at -20 I believe. Btw, I recognize that glass roof from anywhere. Nice Model Y!

Installed one and it is both ultra efficient, whisper quiet indoor and outdoor. If you live in a climate with extremes just oversize the unit a bit and get wind/hail/snow covers for it.

That's a great point and I want to add that as more people are incentivized to move to heat pumps, inductive cooktops, and heat pump water heaters and dryers, the gas utilities will need to increase hookup fees to maintain the gas network. Or maybe some will instead let maintenance slide in favor of profits until there's another incident like the Merrimack Valley gas explosion.

The truth is with a heat pump you need multiple stages with one of them being pure resistive heating that will raise your electrical usage dramatically, especially if you get freezing temperatures in the winter. Plus be aware that you'll be replacing this equipment every 15-20 years depending on your climate.
@blazetownsend8785 Жыл бұрын
Not always needed. Some still work as low as -32 f, but it is less efficient at that temp but still more efficient than resistive heating, often around 1.8 times more efficient at 5f but some are more efficient than that at -10. The 1.8 measurement is based on mine, where I use it as supplemental heat and use a 95% efficient boiler.
@MrOpenGL Жыл бұрын
Another thing that has to be remembered is that a lot of places only go down to 5-10°C during the winter such as where I live (especially nowadays, it used to go below zero °C a couple days per year when I was little, but now it barely goes below 8...). Here, a heat pump makes perfect sense and I just plonked a minisplit in every room, run it with solar, almost free heating, no need for auxiliary heat, and even without solar it's way cheaper than gas and quicker to heat the house than the old hot water radiators.
@yourelectricneighbour3633 Жыл бұрын
So that’s only if you have an air handler installed instead of a furnace as a hybrid set up. If you do have resistive heat for sure that’s the highest cost but with a cold climate heat pump shouldn’t be used too often depending on where you live obviously.
