A defrost cycle, thermostat or mode setting, backup-heat setting, airflow, or refrigerant problem can all cause it. The system needs testing under running conditions to tell a normal defrost from a fault.
Cold-climate heat pumps are designed for New England winters, and backup heat settings matter on the coldest days. Thermostat settings, airflow, and defrost operation are reviewed as part of a visit.
A light frost that clears in a defrost cycle can be normal. Heavy ice that does not clear is a fault — do not chip it off with a sharp tool, as that can damage the coil. Switch the unit off and call.
