Troubleshooting Winter Defrost Cycles in Houston

During damp, chilly Houston winter mornings with temperatures around 40 degrees, frost naturally forms on outdoor heat pump coils. The system should enter a defrost cycle for 5 to 10 minutes to melt the frost. If the defrost board or ambient sensor fails, ice accumulates and chokes heat transfer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Seeing steam rise from your outdoor heat pump for a few minutes in winter is normal. It indicates the unit is in defrost mode, melting ice off the outdoor coil.

Heat pumps deliver steady air around 90 to 95 degrees, which can feel cooler to the touch than a gas furnace (120 degrees) even though it is warming your room effectively.
