Heat Pump Repair and Replacement

Maintenance for Cost Reduction

When your HVAC system isn’t working properly, it can be frustrating and lead to higher energy bills. To help you identify and fix common issues with your heat pump, here is a troubleshooting guide:
1. No heat: Check that your thermostat is set to “on” and “heat.” Then make sure a circuit breaker hasn’t tripped. If you recently installed a new thermostat, make sure it’s a model appropriate for heat pumps and wired properly.
2. Insufficient heat: Clogged filters, fan and coils can limit airflow and harm your system. Change your filter once a month, clean the unit’s coils and fan, and remove any yard debris that may have gathered around it. Your system may also have blocked air ducts, faulty valves, or poor refrigeration flow.
3. Cold air instead of heat: Air from a heat pump won’t be as warm as a forced-air furnace. But if the air still seems too cool, set the thermostat to emergency heat and at least 5 degrees above the inside temperature. If you get warm air, there may be a problem with your outdoor unit. Cold air means there’s possibly an issue with your thermostat or air handler. Your system may have also gone into defrost mode to avoid icing up. If you see frost or ice on the outdoor coil, your unit may have a defective defroster timer or control module, or it may be low on refrigerant.
4. Heat pump turns on and off frequently: Change your air filter and then look at your thermostat, because it may need to be reset or new batteries. If it’s cold and your system is working constantly, the thermostat may be set too high. Also, some heat pumps have trouble heating around 25 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit.
5. Rattling, grinding or squealing noises: If you hear rattling, try tightening the cover panels. If you hear grinding or squealing, switch off your system and contact Comfort Zone Mechanical Service Experts. This could signal a serious problem.
