QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Before you call.
My heat pump runs all the time. Is that normal?
Often, yes. Heat pumps run longer cycles at lower output than furnaces, especially in cold weather. What is not normal is auxiliary heat running constantly — that is expensive and worth a look.
Heat pump or furnace — which is right for my home?
It depends on your home, ductwork, and comfort priorities. Many Hampton Roads homes do well with a heat pump; some do better with dual-fuel. We will talk through your specific situation.
