Memphis HVAC FAQ
Why is my heat pump using so much power in a Memphis cold snap?
Below a certain outdoor temperature, heat pumps rely more on auxiliary electric heat, which costs more. That's normal for a short cold spell but worth checking if it happens in mild weather.
What humidity should my Memphis home be in summer?
Aim for around 40% to 50%. Higher than that usually means the AC is oversized or ducts are leaking.
