When I lived in Florida I had 2 different heat pumps----a Trane and later a Carrier. I was very comforable in both houses during the heating season as well as the summer. When my husband passed away I moved to South Carolina to be a bit closer to my family. The house I bought here has a heat pump but the house is quite uncomforable during the heating season. When the unit comes on it blows cold air (it feels like the air conditioner is on) As it runs the air gradually improves but it never blows warm air. it goes from cold to perhaps cool then eventually shuts off.
I have had several repair men here and they say that it is working ok. Is this how some heat pumps work? I have the thermostat set at 76 degrees and still the house is uncomfortable. My electric bill is quite high but I dont want to get sick. so I have to pay it. Should I have this unit removed (its 3 years old) and replace it with another brand or will I be wasting more money? Any suggestions please. Anne
