Air to Air ASHP defrosting

For those with A2A HPs, are they any better or worse than air to water ASHPs for the length and frequency of defrost cycles. When defrosting do they shut down the internal units completely.

I rarely notice when defrosting is taking place so it's hard to say anything useful. It does make some interesting sounds at the indoor units though. Nothing about the external appearance of these changes (flaps stay in he same positions) but it only seems to happen when they're not blowing air around. I don't know if they stop blowing to do the defrost or wait for an opportune moment. Now you've brought this up I'll be paying more attention 😀

No danger of cold air being blown out then, sounds good 😀

 

That's right, I've never felt any. I guess it's enough just to turn off the fan. The dehumidifier function on my Daikin Emura's must perform a similar cycle (cooling) but having just tried it, there is a little bit of cool air movement which is to be expected.
