We have a heat pump too and I HATE HATE HATE it. We had to have it serviced last summer and the guy who serviced it said he never understands why homes in the South have heat pumps installed..that it never gets cold enough here for the outside thermostat to recognize that it needs to blow HEAT..so when ours comes on it will blow warm air for about 5 minutes and then it clicks off and it feels like cool air blowing from then on. And it will run and run blowing that cooler air b/c it can never regulate itself or something. I HATE it. I want heat when I turn on the heat kwim? So we rarely use it at all downstairs and use our logs instead.
