What’s the temperature of air coming out of a heat pump?

New heat pump owners often notice that the air coming out of the vents isn’t as warm as when they had a gas furnace. Heat pumps typically produce air that is about 90-100°F, whereas furnaces can produce air as high as 120-125°F. The fix: Nothing. This is normal for heat pumps.
