We just moved into a new home and I’m looking for info on the HVAC. I don’t see any info in the paperwork on the AC unit. I think it’s a heat pump only because it’s been running during our cold days when the heat comes on. I’ve only had AC units at my other houses and they didn’t run in the winter. Does that sound correct?
A couple other things-
-I notice that there’s water coming out from under it while it’s running. Not like a flow, but the concrete walkway/ steps are wet. Is that normal? The unfortunate part about that is it’s right at the top of concrete stairs going down to the backyard, and when it was below freezing, was sheer ice. Not a good thing to have at the top of concrete stairs.
-On some of the colder days, even at 64* in the house, it basically ran constantly.
-And lastly, when it kicks off, it makes a hard clunking noise as if a clutch or brake was kicking in to stop it from running.
We had a home inspection done and nothing was brought up about it, so I’m just trying to get info to see if the above issues are normal.
Thank you
