The only time your outside unit should run when in the heat mode is if you have a heat pump.

Have someone check it out for you, at this point your electric bill is going to go through the roof. Your trying to chill and heat the air at the same time.
Yeah, I didn't think that they should run together. Burning gas and spinning the meter at the same time is not good........anyone know how a neophyte like me can troubleshoot this thing? No budget right now to call a guy in......
