Our heat pump has frozen due to the temperature and the rain falling into

Wouldn't that thaw it out?

I have trouble believing that a heat pump can freeze up since they were made
to be outside. What a screwy system. Mine have frozen also.

The origional seems many years old,but maybe the reply is new.

A heatpump often freezes over, but it is suspose to reverse the cycle before
much ice forms. This melts the ice out. It should be made so it will not
freeze from direct rain, but just condenses the moisture out of the air.

Of course, that's very possible. I'm truly
apologetic. Soon as we hear from the OP,
we'll see what has been tried since then.

The OP switched to a ground source heat pump 6 years ago. ^_^
