Well, We have reached the inefficiency temperatures regarding your heat pump, heat mode HVAC systems. As you are the owner, it is solely up to you rather you utilize the heat pump mode, or cycle off and use emergency heat/ electric heat / auxiliary heat. Most equipment loses all efficiency between 42° and 38°. It would be best to cycle of, especially if the system isn’t detecting and transferring to defrost mode fast enough. Not only May it harm the system, as well as loss of efficiency, but Is even more inefficient due to condenser calling for emergency heat while in defrost simply because of strip heating in gauge as well as compressor in the closed state. If needed, contact us. We will do what we can to secure your comfort. Be safe and God bless!
