Quality Heat Pump Repair and Replacement in West Chester

Not only can an electric heat pump warm your home in West Chester, it can cool it too. When stacked up against a conventional heating systems—like a gas furnace—you’ll also likely have a reduced electrical bill.

Heat pumps accompany an air handler, which circulates air throughout your home. While an air handler might look like 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.

Poor Maintenance Can Cost You
An insufficiently maintained system can cost you. On average, a neglected 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 have a shorter life span.

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

Insufficient heat. Filthy filters, fan and coils can limit airflow and damage your system. Put in a new filter once a month, clean the unit’s coils and fan, and get rid of 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 toasty as a forced air furnace. But if the air still seems too chilly, set the thermostat to emergency heat and at least 5 degrees above the room temperature. If you get warm air, there may be trouble 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 prevent frosting 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. Swap out your air filter and then look at your thermostat, because it may need to be reset or need new batteries. If it’s cold and your system is running continuously, the thermostat may be set too high. Also, some heat pumps become ineffective 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 Wesley Wood Service Experts. This could signal a serious problem.
