Quality Heat Pump Service in East Syracuse

Quality Heat Pump Repair and Replacement in East Syracuse

Not only can an electric heat pump heat your home in East Syracuse, it can cool it too. When weighed against standard heating systems—like a gas furnace—you’ll also likely have a lower heating and cooling bill.

Heat pumps function with an air handler, which distributes air throughout your home. While an air handler might resemble 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, an ignored heat pump can consume 10 to 25 percent more energy, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. It’s also more likely to stop working or have a shorter life span.

When your HVAC system isn’t giving the best home heating or isn’t working properly, try our troubleshooting list 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 accurately.

Insufficient heat. Dirty 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 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 hot 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 inside temperature. If you get warm air, there may be an issue with your outdoor unit. Cold air means there’s likely an issue with your thermostat or air handler. Your system may have also gone into defrost mode to stop it from 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. Change your air filter and then monitor your thermostat, because it may need to be adjusted 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 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 Falso Service Experts. This could signal a serious problem.
