The present disclosure relates to a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (“HVAC”) system include a supply damper, a return damper, and a defrost damper which are operable to control a supply airflow, a return airflow, and a defrost airflow to flow between a supply duct, a return duct, and an indoor heat exchanger without substantially flowing into and substantially cooling an indoor space. A reheat coil may also warm the supply air flow and a defrost return line may be used to bypass a bi-flow expansion device and an indoor heat exchanger.
