Quality Heat Pump Repair and Replacement in Orlando

Not only can an electric heat pump raise the temperature in your home in Orlando, it can cool it too. When stacked up against a traditional 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 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 poorly maintained system can cost you. On average, an ignored heat pump can guzzle 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 giving the best home heating or isn’t working correctly, try our troubleshooting tips below.

No heat. Check your thermostat is set 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 correctly.

Insufficient heat. Dirty filters, fan and coils can reduce airflow and damage your system. Put in a new filter once a month, clean the unit’s coils and fan, and clear yard debris that may have built up 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 a problem with your outdoor unit. Cold air means there’s possibly an issue with your thermostat or air handler. Your system may have also gone into defrost mode to stop it from 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 check your thermostat, because it may need to be reset 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 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, switch off your system and contact Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning. This could signal a serious problem.
