    Heater won't turn off
    I have an 8 year old Carrier heat pump. I have to set the T-stat above 81 degrees for it to even come on. When it finally comes on, why does it stay on constantly even though the fan is set to auto?

    It could be still calling for heat. If you turn the heat to off does it go off?

    Is the unit outside running?
