[QUOTE="Little Joe, post: 1838269, member: 39122"] I always recommend to turn off heat pump and turn to emergency or auxillary heat when it is going to stay below freezing more than just overnight. Heat pumps aren't very efficient below freezing and especially as cold as it's been lately. I've seen lots of damaged fan blades and burnt up motors over the years due to ice building up on the shroud. Also everytime that unit has to defrost it is actually switching the reversing valve into ac mode and has to run strips along with the compressor to counteract the cold air. [/QUOTE]
