Quality Heat Pump Repair and Replacement in Hurricane

Not only can an electric heat pump raise the temperature in your home in Hurricane, it can cool it too. When stacked up against a conventional heating systems—like a gas furnace—you’ll also likely have a reduced electrical bill.

Heat pumps accompany an air handler, which distributes air throughout your home. While an air handler might have the appearance of a furnace, it doesn’t create heat through fuel combustion. However, some air handler models may have secondary electric heating or cooling parts to help out the heat pump.

Poor Maintenance Can Cost You
A badly maintained system can cost you. On average, an uncared-for heat pump can eat up 10 to 25 percent more energy, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. It’s also more likely to break down or not last as long.

When your HVAC system isn’t providing the best home heating or isn’t working correctly, try our troubleshooting list below.

No heat. Check your thermostat is switched to “on” and “heat.” Next, make sure a circuit breaker hasn’t tripped. Recently installed a new thermostat? Make sure it’s a model made for heat pumps and wired accurately.

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 clear yard debris that may have accumulated around it. Your system may also have blocked air ducts, faulty valves or poor refrigeration flow.

Cold air instead of heat. Air from a heat pump won’t be as toasty as a forced air furnace. But if the air still seems too chilly, set the thermostat to emergency heat and at least 5 degrees above the room temperature. If you get warm air, there may be an issue with your outdoor unit. Cold air means there’s probably an issue with your thermostat or air handler. Your system may have also gone into defrost mode to stop it from frosting up. If you see frost or ice on the outdoor coil, your unit may have a defective defroster timer or control module, or it could have too little refrigerant.

Heat pump turns on and off frequently. Replace your air filter and then monitor your thermostat, because it may need to be reset or need new batteries. If it’s cold and your system is running continuously, the thermostat may be set too high. Also, some heat pumps become ineffective around 25 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit.

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 call Teays Valley Service Experts. This could indicate a serious problem.
