There are times when Heat Pumps struggle to maintain an accurate temperature, especially in lower temperatures. There are a number of potential reasons this could be happening.
Cold Air in the Home
Too much cold air can be getting into your home and the Heat Pump is struggling to keep up. Make sure all doors & windows are closed.
Ice Build Up
If the unit is iced up run the defrost cycle to thaw it out.
Low Temperatures
If temperatures drop between 35 – 40 degrees outside, the heat pump will become less efficient. This will result in having to use auxiliary heat to supplement the Heat Pump’s output.
Consistent vent openings
Make sure all your vents are open to maintain an even temperature throughout your home.
