Quality Heat Pump Repair and Replacement in Cleveland

Not only can an electric heat pump heat your home in Cleveland, it can cool it too. When stacked up against a conventional heating systems—like a gas furnace—you’ll also likely have a lower energy bill.

Heat pumps work with an air handler, which moves air throughout your home. While an air handler might resemble a furnace, it doesn’t create heat through fuel combustion. However, some air handler models may have secondary electric heating or cooling parts to back up the heat pump.

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

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

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

Insufficient heat. Dirty filters, fan and coils can lower airflow and wreck your system. Put in a new filter once a month, clean the unit’s coils and fan, and remove yard debris that may have gathered 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 chilly, set the thermostat to emergency heat and at least 5 degrees above the ambient temperature. If you get warm air, there may be an issue 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 stop it from 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 be low on refrigerant.

Heat pump turns on and off frequently. Replace your air filter and then look at your thermostat, because it may need to be reset or need new batteries. If it’s cold and your system is working continuously, the thermostat may be set too high. Also, some heat pumps don’t work well 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, stop using your system and call Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning. This could indicate a serious problem.
