How To Tell You Need Your Heat Pump Repaired
Heat pumps are complex appliances, which means it’s not always easy to tell when it’s in trouble. We’ve laid out below some top symptoms you’ll encounter if you should call us at Absolute Services to repair your heat pump.
Climate Control Difficulties
If you have a heat pump and you’re dealing with spaces in your home or particular rooms that are warmer or cooler than others when set to the same temperature. You may be dealing with a malfunctioning thermostat, a problem with your reversing valve, or ductwork inefficiencies. To improve comfort throughout your home and cut down on wasted energy, get in touch with us at Absolute Services to investigate and fix the issue.
Problems With Airflow
When you notice your heat pump is inadequately heating your home despite running consistently, the issue may be poor airflow. Our team will inspect your filters, vents, coils, and blower motors to ensure all of them are in good working order. If we find a problem, our team can resolve it, reducing the likelihood of overheating and breaking down.
Strange Sounds
Pay attention to unusual noises coming from your heat pump. For example, banging can mean you have a component loose in your system or your compressor is failing. If you hear screeching, you might be dealing with an aging motor bearing. Contact us to pinpoint the cause of the sound and provide a resolution.
Bad Smells
Smelling mustiness from your heat pump could mean you have mold or mildew growing within your system that needs to be addressed. Burning, however, indicates an electrical issue with associated safety concerns. Make sure you get in touch with an HVAC technician as soon as possible.
Increase in Energy Bills
If you haven’t been using your heat pump more than normal but your energy bills have skyrocketed, your heat pump is inefficient. Our team can investigate the inefficiency and provide you with a solution to improve efficiency.
Unusual Cycling or Running
If your heat pump short cycles (turns on and off too quickly), you might need your thermostat fixed, your filter changed, or your refrigerant levels checked. We’ll also need to check for electrical issues. Once we find the root cause, we’ll either repair it or offer you a heat pump replacement.
Reasons To Stay Current With Heat Pump Maintenance
Protect your investment and take care of your heat pump by investing in routine heat pump maintenance appointments. Some key benefits of having your heat pump serviced are:
- Better Energy Efficiency: Heat pumps can begin to waste energy if they’re not maintained. During maintenance, we’ll clean your filters and coils to allow for more energy efficient operation. This will also lead to a reduction in your energy bills.
- Problems Caught Early: During routine maintenance appointments, trained eyes can notice the beginnings of problems while they’re small and easy to fix. Waiting until something goes wrong can mean paying for costlier repairs.
- Increased Lifespan: By addressing wear and tear and catching problems before they escalate, your heat pump is likely to last longer than otherwise. A well-maintained heat pump can last up to 20 years before needing to be replaced.
- Improved Indoor Air Quality: HVAC technicians will clean filters, coils, and ducts and change filters, which will end up making your indoor air quality better.
- Protected Warranty: Professional maintenance is often a condition of manufacturer warranties. Don’t let your warranty lapse—book your heat pump maintenance appointment today.
