Hi all, I have a roof mounted heat pump that when in the heat mode it appears to cycle normally until it reaches the set temp on the t-stat, then it really short cycles to hold the temp.
Once it reached the set temp it will cycle on for about 6 minutes and then off for only 3-4 minutes before cycling on again. If i increase the t-stat a couple degrees warmer it appears to cycle as it should until it reaches the new desired temp. I suspect it's t-stat related but plan to call my AC guy out to take a look. Just curious if there is anything obvious that would be causing this ? It does not let it drop a single degree before cycling on... shouldn't there be a degree or 2 fluctuation?
T-stat is a Honeywell IV.
One other item, it appears to defrost more than it should - 2-3 times during the morning after I turn it on to warm the house up.
Any insight? This is my first winter in this house.
