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.
