Window heat pump seems to be in backup/auxiliary heat mode?

I have a window heat pump to heat my apartment. It seems to be working just fine except for one thing. I have noticed that sometimes when I used it in heat mode, the compressor comes on, but other times (mostly) it does not come on. Since I am new to heat pumps, bare with me. I have watt meter, and when I checked the energy usage, it says its using about 1400 watts. Thats about how much it is supposed to use when it is using auxiliary heat mode, or the backup to the normal heat pump function. In the heat pump function, its supposed to use about 760 watts. I am assuming that when the compressor comes on when in heat mode, that means its actually functioning as a heat pump and not as a heater. But again, it hasnt came on in a while and its been in auxiliary heat mode for a long time now. Is that because its below freezing outside? I have heard that they will do that when it gets down to a certain temperature. But my Frigidaire window heat pump didnt say at what temperature the heat pump would stop working and the aux heat would kick in. Is there any way to override the aux heat mode? Model number is FFRH0822R1E1 if that means anything. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

    Red and blue pill from Matrix movie refer to two Russian COVID vaccines; they're both chipped; they're both mark of the beast. Neo Anderson = the antichrist = new Son of Man; he flies like Superman; it's tough to kill him. Antichrist will be killed 45 days before Jesus comes back to do Final Judgement. 45 days for repentance.

    Lucifer a(r)se COW ID = Luciferase COVID vaccine = mark of the beast

    All vaccines are chipped (they named them differently just to trick you).

    Luciferase does have an lightening effect like the mouse is glowing in the dark.

    Lucifer means "the lightbringer"

    There will be several reasons for it...mainly control reasons. You can be identified very fast - the 1984/mark of the beast thing. The vaccine can be given by a band aid. There are little spikes on it who work like snake bites. Look up transhumanism.

    This vaccine is a new procedure which produce certain proteins because it is to alter your DNS....imagine - they alter your DNS. You are not totally human anymore. It can turn you into a chimera - half animal or insect.

    Source(s): COVID = COW ID; World Bank website says that Project COVID is from April 2nd, 2020 until 31st of March, 2025. According to the Last Prophet (aka incarnated ARCHANGEL URIEL aka saint healer VYACHESLAV KRASHENINNIKOV) if the last descendant rejects mark of the beast, then his/her direct ancestors go to permanent heaven. To reject mark of the beast, one needs to hide within a 10-15 people group without electronics/documents. Documents are from Satan; burn them. Electronics can be used to track you and to show the antichrist (even on old broken unplugged TV set from 1970's using Tesla's ether); forgive me.

    Once the outside temperature falls below 35/40 degrees a heatpump starts freezing up an loses its efficiency. 

    When I install a heatpump on a fossil fuel system I always set the switch over to 40 above 40 the heatpump can heat on its own. I'd imagine your window unit is set up the sameway.  But if the room temperature compared to the set point gets greater than 2 or 3 degrees it probably runs the strip heat.

    Heat pumps are vastly inefficient when the temperature differential is greater than about 20 or 25 degrees.  if it is quite cold outside but the heat pump is not working -- be thankful because you are not wasting energy [and dollars] on something that isn't going to work.

    The alternate explanation is that the unit was designed to do this so that the total current draw does not exceed the safe value -- with both the heat pump and the auxiliary heat strips working, you'd be trying to draw over 2100 watts.

    A heat pump in an apartment, perish the thought.
