Up north our furnace was running about 15 minutes of each hour and it was 5 degrees outside. Maybe they just work different???

Thanks for any feedback.
It is normal for the heat to run that long when the temperature gets in the 30's. The heat pumps don't deliver the heat that the gas furnaces do. Heat Pumps cost less to run.
