I have a Ducane heat pump which is now 4 years old. I've had to have the freon filled two times and now the unit keeps freezing up. My service man has been out over 7 times trying to find the problem. Ducane will not return my phone calls. I'm basically heating with the heat strips now. It's costing me a fortune. Don't waste your time and money with a Ducane heat pump. You'll only be sorry.

I've owned mine 3 weeks and it has been nothing but trouble. 20 minutes of cold air for the "defrosting phase" followed by 40 minutes of heat. Does that sound efficient?
