Is it a heat pump, or does it have heat strips? or both? The specs show it pulls 22 amps in heat mode, which makes me think it has heat strips, not a

This is not a heat pump. It does have resistant heat strips. I replaced a Carrier thru the wall heat pump with this unit. The Frigidaire does a much better job maintaining a consistent temperature. The temperature I set it on always corresponds with an electronic thermometer I have in the room.

Never measured it, but since it puts out a lot of heat, I expect you better have it on a 20 amp circuit or a strong 15 amp. The largest pull will be when it starts since the motors high pull at startup adds to the heating element. The reason I bought the new one was that our groomer's old one kept blowing breakers when it was kicked on. The new one doesn't, but I also added an outdoor circuit for her use that was 20 amp. One other thing: My house is fairly new and wired badly as most new houses are now, and in addition has GFI's on all outdoor circuits. The GFI's are so sensitive that the startup draw was enough to pop it. Hell, a string of xmas lights would pop it if dew settled on the plug. Anyway, plugged into a non-GFI circuit in the house, the old unit did not pop the breaker. So, if your house doesn't have GFIs or you have a non-GFI circuit, you should be okay on even a 15 amp circuit. With a GFI, you may occasionally even pop a 20 amp. Your mileage may vary. Hope that helps in some way. Greg

It will handle up to 15 amps. If your pump pulls less than 15 amps the answer is yes. I have a 1 HP on mine and it works wonderfully.Hope this helps.Regina

Mine died awhile ago. But to the best of my recollection it had two heat settings, 750W and 1500W. Very nice while it lasted.

it does over heat the pump use a volt regulator you can buy one on ebay for six dollars.

The label on the pump says 16 amps. I ran a (probably 12 gauge) wire from our house batteries, under the motorhome, to a heavy duty 12 volt outlet in a compartment near the dump valves. I used a 20 amp inline fuse. The fuse has never blown. My guess is the pump would draw a little less than 15 amps.I apologize for being a "nitpicker". More than 15 amps wouldn't be a "short circuit". A circuit breaker should trip.

The heat pump continues to work in cold weather. However, my heat pump produces less heat in colder weather. In hot weather it produces lots of cool

I have had my pump at least 2 years now. I live in a RV and about 1 X a week I use the pump. It is good. I would say around 20 Amps but I have never measured. I know that as the amps increase the pump does better

Its rated for 22 amps. I wouldn't load with more than 15 amps, because your motor will pull more amps at start up.

It's a heatpump...by design intent...it does exactly that....removes the heat from the surrounding air....we have ours in the garage...like any heatpump...if the temperature is less than 45°F....it is useless...it will use conventional mode....fyi...the recovery rate in hybrid mode...is slow....very slow. Good Luck

Looks good. The UL tag lists:22amp3/4 hp at 125VAC1-1/2 HP for 250-277VAC applications

I don't remember the amperage it's pulling but what i will say is this little fan pumps some air. It was worth the price. Good luck and sorry that I couldn't be more helpful

Ours came with the option of heating or cooling, so I'm assuming it has a heat strip inside, installed at the factory. We are, incidentally, very pleased with it as of now.

I believe it said you need to buy something else for that feature, kind of deceptive. Also, mine did not work with my heat pump so I sent it back.

This model has two heat sources, heat pump and heat strip and switches automatically between them. In pump mode (above 45) it puts out as much heat as 2 space heaters. Below that, it puts out as much heat as 1 space heater. But the point of buying this unit is for the pump, so if your winters are below 30 for more than 2 months at a time, you're paying for a big feature you won't using much (the heat pump).

I really cannot answer the question, we have had the coldest couple months here in years, My primary heat is all electric heat pump, so I was expecting a huge bill adding the heater also, I ran it quite a few days without turning it off, my bill was lower than I expected it to be, and it is a warmer heat than the heat pump

It's rated at 2 Amps but only consumes 150 Watts of power so tha actual steady state draw is probably more like 1.25 Amps.
