In Las Vegas, calcium scale on the outdoor coil from hard water is a frequent contributor that is easy to overlook.

If it runs constantly, the heat pump is not producing enough heat on its own. Common causes are low refrigerant, a failing reversing valve, a weakening compressor, or an incorrect balance-point setting at the thermostat.

Infrequent use means dust accumulates on burners and sensors degrade from inactivity. A dormant-system checklist before first use prevents no-heat emergencies when temperatures drop to the 30s.
