Usually, you will notice diminished heating capacity from your system, and the out side temperature is dropping below the average temperature your heat-pump operates at. This is the time to activate your emergency heat.

Why doesnt my Goodman CPLE36 1 central AC unit with heat pump turn on outside but inside it blows air throughout the house though it's not cool air and the heat only works on emergency heat?

The thermostat turns on the heat pump and indoor fan. If an electrical sub circuit to or within the heat pump fails or locks out the heat pump, the outdoor part will not turn on.


What can you do if your house central heater is covered with ice?

I would assume your using a heat pump. You can turn you a/c on for about 10 minutes that should defrost it but don't take it as a quick solution call service repair man if you can. Remember you should have an emergency heat selector on your thermostat..

Why is the heat and air system only working on emergency heat?

when running the heat-pump the air blowing from the heat ducts is not hot ( it's to cold for the heat-pump). you have a main furnace and it won't turn on ( is thermostat selected for this source), ( is the power switch for main furnace on ), ( is fuse for this furnace good). If these are good (check thermostat wiring at thermostat, and transformer).


Why will my heat pump not start when i turn on thermostat?

First, is the thermostat in he correct position for cooling? Is there a red light glowing on the thermostat? There could have been a power surge or outage and the heat pump needs to reset. Turn the power off to the heat pump at the control panel for a couple or minutes then back on again to reset the heat pump.

Can you run a 3 ton heat pump with a 7000 watt generator?

No. The heat pump (your outdoor unit) and indoor blower motor will run ok at these power levels, but here is the bad news - if the heat pump can't meet the temperature demand (or it gets below ~ 20F outside), the furnace will attempt to turn on several electric strip heaters (as emergency backup). These strip heaters are rated from ~ 5000W to 20000W, depending on the size of your home. Your generator can't handle that load.

Why does your pump turn-off by itself when the timer is not on?

If the timer is not on then how can the pump turn off? The timer should have to be on for the pump to run in the first place. Can you ask the question in a different manner? Ken
