Unfortunately, these cannot be applied with heat pump models just yet, but we are actively working on a solution for better compatibility of the heat pump model with legacy systems.
Yes, all rooftop air conditioning systems are designed to be run overnight. One thing we love about the heat pump model by GE Appliances is the auto changeover feature.
