I have 2008 Pace Arrow 38P and have a few questions. I tried to run my heat pump on the electric setting on the thermostat and the gas and heat pump came on. I thought the heat pump only should have kicked on.
When I turn on my heat pump on the electric setting ... the only time the gas will kick on at the same time as the electric is when the inside temperature is several degrees lower than the temperature at which you are setting the electric. (i.e, 68 desired temp. vs. 60 inside temperature.) The electricity needs help to get it up to the higher temperature quickly. Then the gas will shut off.
I hope you understand what I've written. DH & I have an agreement that only one of us controls the thermostat, and I'm usually the one (unless I'm not around). My explanation is from usage, and what I've experienced. You should have - in your suitcase of manuals - a manual for Operation & Maintenance Instructions for Heat Pumps.
