Common Heat Pump Problems

Knowing which heat pump problems are emergencies and which require a simple fix can help you save a lot of money. Here are some common heat pump problems you may encounter:

Excessive Noise

One of the best features about heat pump systems is that they are very quiet. If your heat pump is making noise call for service as that is a big indication that something is broken or is breaking.

 

 

High Energy Bills

A large monthly energy bill can mean that your heat pump is working harder to do the same job. Heat pumps are more efficient than a traditional HVAC system such as an air conditioner and furnace. A higher energy bill requires a service call to inspect and tune-up the unit.

Ice Forming Inside Unit

Some ice formation is normal in heat pumps. But be on the lookout for large accumulations of ice. Try the defrost mode on your unit, but if that doesn’t help then call for heat pump repair service.

Short Cycling

If your heat pump is turning on and off rapidly – it is short cycling. Short cycling is an indication that either the thermostat is failing or the unit sensor and switch are failing. Call for service immediately as the short cycling can cause major damage to your unit.

Poor Temperature Control

If the heat pump is doing a poor job of controlling the ambient room temperature in your home or business, call for heat pump repair. The problem could be a number of issues, such as a small coolant leak. Many times small problems erupt into expensive repairs if not caught in time.

Our heat pump repair service often prevents small issues from turning into major expenses. It’s important to address these issues as soon as you notice them or else they can stop the unit from heating your Indiana home or business.

Do I Need To Repair or Replace My Heat Pump?

One of the top heating and cooling questions we get about heat pump repair is whether or not the equipment needs replacing or repairing.

It’s Better To Repair Your Heat Pump If…

If the system is less than ten years old it is often better to repair it. Heat pump repairs are cost-effective for heating units that are less than ten years old. Most heat pumps can last 15-20 years.

If the repair is not significant, you should repair the unit, especially if the unit is still under warranty.

Another indication of when to repair over replace is when the units repair history is light. Meaning, there have not been many repair calls throughout the life of your unit so far. When the number of repair calls are low, it is a good sign there is plenty of life still left in the unit.

It’s Better To Replace Your Heat Pump If…

If your heat pump is aging and needs repairs frequently, then it is time to replace it. When the heat pump is not long a reliable heat or cooling source for your house and repair services are less cost-effective, it is time to replace the unit. Generally, this happens when the heat pump is more than ten years old and sometimes sooner if there has been poorly maintained throughout the units installed life. Any heating or cooling appliance should remain reliable through the winter and summer. If the unit is not reliable it is time to install a new unit.
