Heat Pump Repair in Windsor That Includes a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee*

A lack of system maintenance can cost you. On average, an inefficient heat pump could eat up to 10 to 25 percent more energy, based on findings from the U.S. Department of Energy. It’s also more likely to become damaged or fail prematurely.

Troubleshooting Your Heat Pump Problem

Heat pump not running right? Check out our list of common problems below.

• No heat. Make sure your thermostat is positioned to “on” and “heat.” A circuit breaker may have tripped, but in some cases it’s because the thermostat itself doesn’t work with heat pumps.
• Insufficient heat. Dirty filters, fan and coils may restrict airflow and wreck your system. Replace the system’s air filter every month or so, avoid letting the coils and fan get dirty, and remove yard debris that may have accumulated around it. Your system could also be dealing with clogged ductwork, damaged valves or poor refrigeration flow.
• Cold air instead of heat. Heating that comes from a heat pump won’t be as warm as a standard, forced air type of furnace. But if things still feel too cold, switch the thermostat to emergency heat in addition to at least 5 degrees higher than the inside temperature. If you get warm air, there may be a problem with the system’s outdoor unit. Cold air likely stems from a problem with the thermostat or air handler. And in some cases, the problem is because your system has gone into defrost mode to avoid freezing. If you’ve recently seen frost or ice around the outdoor coil, your HVAC system might have a defective defroster timer or control module, or you may have a refrigerant leak, reducing the total supply.
• Heat pump starts and stops often. Swap out your system’s air filter before monitoring your thermostat, as it might have to be recalibrated or need new batteries. When it’s cold and the heat pump is running constantly, the thermostat could be set incorrectly. In addition, certain heat pumps have trouble heating around 25 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Rattling, grinding or squealing noises. If you hear a rattling sound, you may need to tighten the cover panels. If you hear noise you’d describe as scraping, grinding, squeaking or squealing, shut the system off and call Bryant Heating & Cooling Service Experts. These sounds can be evidence of a serious problem.
