Quality Heat Pump Service in Concord

Quality Heat Pump Repair and Replacement in Concord

Not only can an electric heat pump heat your home in Concord, it can cool it too. When compared to traditional heating systems—like a gas furnace—you’ll also likely have a reduced heating and cooling bill.

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

Poor Maintenance Can Cost You
A badly maintained system can cost you. On average, an ignored heat pump can consume 10 to 25 percent more energy, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. It’s also more likely to break down or have a shorter life span.

When your HVAC system isn’t providing the best home heating or isn’t working in a reliable manner, try our troubleshooting tips below.

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

Insufficient heat. Filthy filters, fan and coils can limit airflow and harm your system. Swap 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 warm as a forced air furnace. But if the air still seems too crisp, set the thermostat to emergency heat and at least 5 degrees above the ambient temperature. If you get warm air, there may be trouble with your outdoor unit. Cold air means there’s likely 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 could have too little refrigerant.

Heat pump turns on and off frequently. Swap out your air filter and then look at your thermostat, because it may need to be recalibrated or need new batteries. If it’s cold and your system is on constantly, 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 get in touch with Freschi Service Experts. This could indicate a serious problem.
