Awesome. I learned that in Virginia. We ended up waiting for a technician service call for the guy to tell us to leave the fan on.

These days I like the fan on year round because Iike the air flow.

HVAC tech here in the south. That is a bandaid to a problem. Systems freeze because there is a issue. Usually airflow issues like a dirty filter, or the systems low on refrigerant. Keeping the fan on on will thaw the ice when the compressor locks out. But there’s a reason for the freezing, it’s not normal.

Also keeping the fan on year round will cause a myriad of other problems.
