Quality Heat Pump Repair and Replacement in Windsor

Not only can an electric heat pump warm your home in Windsor, it can cool it too. When stacked up against a traditional heating systems—like a gas furnace—you’ll also likely have a decreased heating and cooling bill.

Heat pumps function with an air handler, which circulates air throughout your home. While an air handler might look like a furnace, it doesn’t produce 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 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 properly, try our troubleshooting guide below.

No heat. Check your thermostat is switched 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 compatible with heat pumps and wired properly.

Insufficient heat. Filthy filters, fan and coils can lower airflow and wreck your system. Change your filter once a month, clean the unit’s coils and fan, and remove 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 cold, 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 possibly an issue with your thermostat or air handler. Your system may have also gone into defrost mode to prevent 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. Replace 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 running 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, stop using your system and contact Bryant Heating & Cooling Service Experts. This could indicate a serious problem.
