Okay, I'm new to this heat pump stuff,
always lived in the land of the cold where we used gas to make heat! FIRE!
grunt grunt!!!

so, now I have a nambie pambie heat pump on the house, and today for the
first time or, last night really, it got below freezing,
26 to be precise, well, the heat pump has been running almost constantly,
and from time to time, the AUX heat has been kicking in too.
is that normal? The air temp outside is 34 right now, and the air comming
out of the vents is 80
About 2 weeks back I had a "disk" replaced, (some type of stat they said)
temp outside was probably in the 45 -55 range then, but the air comming out
of the vents was closer to 90,

is this normal??
can the heatpum

Sure sounds like it. We used to have a heat pump; got tired of
listening to it run all the time for little effect, so after it broke
a second time in two years, went with Propane (all we can get out
here). I love the peace and quiet.
