A poorly maintained system can cost you lot in long run. On average, an inefficient heat pump can take up to 10 to 25 percent more energy, based on findings from the U.S. Department of Energy. It’s also more likely to break down or fail prematurely.

Troubleshooting Your Heat Pump issue

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

• No Heat. Confirm your thermostat is positioned to “on” and “heat.” A circuit breaker may have flipped, but in some cases it’s because the thermostat itself doesn’t work with heat pumps.
• Insufficient heat. Poorly maintained air filters, fan and coils could reduce airflow and even cause damage to system. Swap your air filter every month or so, avoid letting the coils and fan get dirty, and clear away yard debris collecting around it. Your system may also have blocked air ducts, damaged valves or poor refrigeration flow.
• Cold air instead of heat. Air from a heat pump may often not be as warm as a standard, forced air type of furnace. But when the air is still too cold, adjust the thermostat to emergency heat and at least 5 degrees higher than the inside temperature. If you get warm air, there might be something wrong with the outdoor unit. Cold air is usually the result of an issue with the thermostat or air handler. Your system may have also gone into defrost mode so it can avoid freezing. If you see frost or ice sitting on the outdoor coil, your HVAC system might have a defective defroster timer or control module, or it could be low on refrigerant.
• Heat pump starts and stops often. Swap out your system’s air filter and then monitor 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 may be set too high. Also, some models of heat pumps start to struggle around 25 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Rattling, grinding or squealing sounds. If you hear a rattling sound, you may need to tighten the cover panels. But if you’ve heard noises you’d describe as scraping, grinding, squeaking or squealing, turn off your system and contact us by calling 703-237-4545 or 301-217-9239 These sounds can be serious problem and cost lot of money if not paid attention immediately.

Heat Pump Services Can Save You from These Troubles

The inspection of a heat pump is hardly a DIY job and requires a professional’s expertise because of the risks involved in dealing with high voltage and chemicals. Scheduling an inspection right now can prevent:

• Premature failures: The performance capacity of your heat pump is realized only during the winters. Defrosting becomes difficult for heat pumps during this time.
• High Energy Consumption: Experts point out that the difference in energy consumption between a neglected heat pump and the maintained one can range from 10% to 25%.
• Health Risks: A neglected heat pump leads to clogged filters, leading to micro-bacteria growth in the air and foul odor. It can pose health risks, especially for kids and the elderly.
