Heat pump defrost and steam show!

[@dianewinkles2962]

Thank you for this. I now understand what is happening. My unit isn't broke, it's still tough as nails doing its job. This explains why after it defrosts, it blows hot air like it should. VERY HELPFUL VIDEO.

[@LestonDr]

Nice, I explain the heatpump to new home owners... It is nice to have a video to share so they understand the process. thank you

[@burningkarma]

Heat pumps are amazing things! It was down to like 6 degrees where I was yesterday and had a boat load of frost on the outdoor coils. It was fun watching it in it's defrost cycle with all the evaporation going on.

[@nathang.1744]

huh, they say to not run a heat pump under 15°

[@burningkarma]

@@nathang.1744 As a lone source of heat yes. When it gets that cold it works best with another heat source.

[@nathang.1744]

@@burningkarma ok that’s good to know.. i have a heat pump but in my area never gets below 30°

[@burningkarma]

@@nathang.1744 As long as I have my electric heat set about 5 degrees less than the heat pump thermostat on the coldest days of winter, I've never had an issue with it keeping up. The new ones they have now are built for any kind of weather element you can imagine.

[@jddr.jkindle9708]

Looks like your outdoor condenser unit is working fine.

[@dilchproductions]

Nice defrost sound.

[@RoboVacParty]

Hello, how often does this perform defrost cycle during entire day like this? and how much energy does this consume on each defrost cycle? Thanks!

[@Elizabeth-ts4om]

How often it defrosts depends on the weather conditions. If it is very cold or very humid it will defrost more often.

[@nathang.1744]

most of these units also come with a timed defrost. typically one can expect a defrost to occur every 30 min to 1 hour. what i would be worried about is how long they go into defrost. because the discharge line can run pretty hot when it’s in defrost too long. especially when it’s a warmer day outside

Did you install it? That could be any ICP condenser. I install these all the time with the SmartComfort tag on them.

Nice video! Almost as good as a train horn shave and haircut vid

[@russellrini6575]

yes Defrost mode like my Grandpa Jerry always told me about, before when I though it was acting weird now I've learned he was right all along. He would always tell me it was normal for it to act like that in defrost mode, but how do know it's just defrost mode or if the capacitor or fan motor is bad?

[@bubbaharrod2530]

Well if the cap is bad then the fan will never come back on

[@russellrini6575]

Oh yeah thank you it’s good to know the difference, because otherwise it’s very hard to tell sometimes. If it’s just the average defrost cycle or a problem.

[@nathang.1744]

listen. if it has a scroll compressor you can likely tell my the sound. but if it has another compressor then just go to the t-stat and flip to cooling for a few sec and see if the fan runs.

[@TheFanboy6]

Grandaire's are cool!

[@mikemcfadden806]

Its an ICP condenser, could be any number of brands. I install this exact unit all the time but its called SmartComfort

[@HackHunter1835]

what cost more to use, the heat pump or the gas furnace? we have both, wife dont want to use the HP, cost more than natural gas?

[@crazyjdkid]

Depends on how cold it is and the cost of nat gas vs electricity.

[@Lilmiket1000]

Definitely gas cost more. but heat pumps start to not work in the 20s. I have a gas electric hybrid system and if i heat with gas all month my bill is 80 dollars and my heat is the only thing in the house on gas. if i use the heat pump my electric bill is 60 dollars. and everything in my house is powered from electric. Im in Charlotte, NC. so I mean it would depend on your local rates. but im pretty sure gas gonna be higher.

[@crazyjdkid]

@@Lilmiket1000 Interesting! It also depends on where you live. The colder the area, the less efficient a heat pump will be. My gas equipment is much cheaper to run than my electric. But like you said it greatly depends on the rates.

[@nathang.1744]

in any climate (except for people where summers don’t get above 60°) you should have a heat pump. with any source of backup heat. because even though in the dead winter it may be too cold to run a heat pump.. you can still run it in the fall and early spring where days are in the high 30s to low 40s

[@KS-qc6gz]

Blizzard in there?

[@sethhorst6158]

The one outside my bedroom window while it's doing that, it makes a loud hissing noise and it will be silent, then it will make the buzzing noises for a few seconds while the fan is still not spinning and makes that hissing noise again. Then after a few second, it turns back on.

[@Lilmiket1000]

@@sethhorst6158 Mine goes into defrost for a few secs to maybe a min too. It must of been super old because this thing stayed in defrost for ever. that noise really drives me nuts!

[@fanshvacandmore14]

@@sethhorst6158 then the unit has smart shift defrost

[@thesmoothjazzguy2012]

Sure is noisy for a 2012 unit!

[@nathang.1744]

Defrosts on all 1 stage units are loud. especially just coming in to defrost and just coming out of defrost for scroll compressor condensers. This is because the scroll is reversing direction. So the scroll will lock up for about 15 seconds. Another reason why defrosts are loud is because the fan mutes some of the compressor noise during normal operation but in defrost the fan isn’t on so it’s straight compressor noise.
