Quality Heat Pump Service in North America

Quality Heat Pump Repair and Replacement in North America

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

Heat pumps work with an air handler, which distributes 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 assist the heat pump.

When you need heat pump service or heat pump repair, contact Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning. We can work on any model of heat pump. Our technicians are NATE-certified, which means they are among the finest in the HVAC industry when it comes to heating and cooling.

And like all our other work, our services for heat pump systems are backed by a one-year 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.*

Poor Maintenance Can Cost You
A poorly maintained system can cost you. On average, an ignored 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 fail prematurely.

When your HVAC system isn’t delivering the best home heating or isn’t working in a reliable manner, 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 put in a new thermostat? Make sure it’s a model appropriate for heat pumps and wired accurately.

Insufficient heat. Dirty filters, fan and coils can limit airflow and wreck your system. Swap your filter once a month, clean the unit’s coils and fan, and remove 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 cold, 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 probably an issue with your thermostat or air handler. Your system may have also gone into defrost mode to avoid freezing. 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. Change your air filter and then monitor your thermostat, because it may need to be recalibrated or need new batteries. If it’s cold and your system is on all the time, the thermostat may be set too high. Also, some heat pumps have trouble heating 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, turn off your system and contact Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning. This could indicate a serious problem.
