For anyone that has one of these units….do you have any kind of shelter over it? My feeling is its the freezing rain getting pulled in by the blower fan. It was to late to call H. E. P. to ask them. Any input from experienced heat pump owners would be welcome. Frank GNC

No I do not believe it should freeze up (but I could be wrong) unless you accidentally had it in A.C. Mode. I have no cover over mine and have seen many that way.

H.E.P. Is great regarding service so best to call them first thing in the AM to get the scoop.

Let us know what the outcome is.

Edited to add that I now vaguely remember home energy saying something about the fins freezing up is normal and melts when going through a melting cycle, so you may be OK
