[QUOTE="aviator41, post: 2225783, member: 30309"] Ours seems to really struggle on warm days, and cold days. In Oklahoma that's about all we get. When it gets up above 90, the compressor seems to always be going, unless we shut it off and let the temp rise in the house. It can take over 2 hours to drop the temp in the house from 86 to 76. In the winter, when the temp drops below 20 the emergency source (electric) kicks in. We've not had a year yet where it hasn't kicked on. we can always tell it has because it makes the house stink the first time it kicks on. It just seems like it's always running, always playing catch up. This is a fairly new house (built in 08), and the heat pump is a 18 SEER unit I believe. We actually bumped it up from what the builder wanted to put in. We've upped the insulation in the attic (no sure to what R value) to no avail. We have it checked twice a year (beginning of summer and winter) and it always gets a clean bill of health. it just has a hard time warming and cooling our 2200sf one story house. [/QUOTE]
