We have just had a power cut and 1 hour later power was restored.  The heat pump powered up again and after 30 minutes I became nervous that the evaporator was at -20C, hardly any air flow across the evaporator, so I have shut it down for the rest of the evening.

How do you deal with the above situation and a iced up evaporator?

What would of happened if I had let it run in this iced up situation?

Did I do the right thing by turning off, or should I have let it run?

Thank you for your feedback.

BTW, R32 refrigerant.
