Dear All, we were at the beach this week end and need heat. We of course have a furnace and the heat pump. Question is - does the fan run all the time its on? The heat cycled on and off but the fan never did - it just blew.
Thanks - Scott
 
That should be controlled with a setting. Sometimes it’s called Econ setting, I don’t know what it is for your setup, but look for a different heat setting, or an Econ setting. It saves a few watts by turning off the fan….

I wish it was possible to set the fan so that it would run for one minute after the heat cycles off…. To blow the hot air out. Our Coleman has only fan all the time, or on/off with the heat strip.

I sent a note to Houghton - basically to start a record if there is an issue ... I messed around with the controls - no discovery. Manufacturer instructions minimal.

Thanks Greg - the question was in heat mode. I had read that and makes more sense for A/C. Houghton just got back to me and said the fan continuously runs in every mode. For A/C, its not such a big issue (no issue), but for heat, its not so nice. Glad we have furnaces in our trailers. Thanks for the input all.

No way to have the fan cycle off is a pretty big oversight on whoever wrote that control algorithm.

Let Houghton know that in your responses
