Heat Pump Tips

Do not set back the heat pump’s thermostat manually if it causes the electric
resistance heating to come on. This type of heating, which is often used as a
backup to the heat pump, is more expensive.
Clean or change filters once a month or as needed, and maintain the system
according to manufacturer’s instructions.
