hello all. the new summer heat has greeted me with a heat pump that fails to squelch the heat. it ran periodically throughout the day, but the indoor temp gauge kept going up. later in the day, only the indoor fan ran, blowing nothing but luke-warm air.
What is likely wrong here? I am not sure how old the heat pump is, and I have only been in the house 10 months. the unit is covered by the home waranty, so should not be an issue with replacement, but i want to be able to talk to the insurance guys to get the max out of this. should i have them look into duct work, that kind of stuff as well? Also, would it be improper to have them install a new thermostat? mine looks like 1953 era crap.
sorry for my ramblings here ...but i am really a novice in this area.
