Heat Pump Repair Service

Heat pumps are a popular choice, as they can both efficiently cool and heat houses. However, like any other home appliance, a heat pump can malfunction or break down and require repair. To avoid costly repairs or serious breakdowns, it is important to catch the warning signs early. Here are some indicators that your heat pump may need a repair service.

  • Short-cycling, the heat pump turning on and off frequently.

  • Strange noises such as clicking, grinding or rattling. 

  • The heat pump is not producing enough heat or blowing cold air instead of warm air. 

  • Water leaks. 

  • Significant increase in energy consumption. 

  • Poor airflow. 

  • Issues with defrosting. 

  • The heat pump is not responding to the thermostat. The heat pump is tripping the circuit breaker

Heat Pump Maintenance Service

Such simple and relatively inexpensive things as furnace maintenance before the heating season, can save you from many serious expensive emergency repairs during cold winter and extend the lifespan of your furnace. However, it’s not the only benefit of a professional tune-up.

  • Preventing breakdowns. Regular maintenance can help to identify small issues such as leaks, and worn-out parts and reduce the likelihood of serious breakdowns. 

  • Leaks detection and repair. Refrigerant leak detection helps prevent refrigerant loss and as the result reduces the heat pump performance. 

  • Improve energy efficiency and as a result lower monthly energy bills.

  • Frozen evaporator coils prevention. A regular air filter cleaning, refrigerant level check, inspection and cleaning of the evaporator and condenser coils for dirt and debris buildup, and blower motor check can prevent evaporator coils from freezing.

  • Can help identify issues and improve airflow and air distribution. Warranty. Some manufacturers require regular maintenance service in order to keep their warranty.

Heat Pump Installation Service

If you are looking for an energy-efficient way to cool and heat your home, a heat pump is an excellent option. Unlike traditional heating and cooling systems, heat pumps move heat from one place to another instead of generating it, which makes them more efficient and cost-effective. However, to ensure that you get the most out of your investment, it is crucial to consider several factors such as:

  • Type of heat pump. There are 3 main types of heat pumps: air-to-air, water source, and geothermal source. The air-to-air type is one of the most common. It works by transferring heat from a cool to a warm space. The water source and geothermal types operate by transferring heat between the house and either the ground or a nearby water source. 

  • Ductwork. Heat pumps can be ducted or ductless. The main benefit of a ducted heat pump is even temperature throughout the house, which makes them a great option for homes with existing ductwork. The main benefit of the ductless option is more flexibility in terms of zoning and temperature control. A ductless heat pump can be a great option for small houses or houses without existing ductwork. 

  • Installation location. For proper work, a heat pump should be installed in a well-ventilated area with good airflow. 

  • Noise level. Some heat pump models produce more noise than others. If the noise level is an important factor for you, look for options with a lower decibel level, such as those with ratings below 60 dB.

  • Energy efficiency. A high-efficiency heat pump can reduce energy bills and save money in the long run.

Heat Pump Replacement Service

Paying attention to signs that the heating or cooling system is approaching the end of its lifespan is crucial in avoiding an emergency replacement. This is also true for heat pumps, as identifying one or a few signs can give you more time to research replacement options. By recognizing the warning signals early on, you have more time to make an informed decision.

  • A heat pump age. A typical lifespan of a well-maintained heat pump is between 10 and 15 years. 

  • Frequent repairs. If your heat pump requires repairs that are costly and occur frequently, replacing it may be more cost-effective. 

  • Strange noises. Unusual or loud noises, such as clicking, grinding, or rattling, coming from your heat pump could be a sign of worn-out parts that may be costly to replace. 

  • High energy bills. If you notice a significant increase in your energy bill, it can indicate your heat pump may not provide efficient heating and cooling. Two possible reasons for it are the age of the heat pump or worn-out parts.

  • Inconsistent temperature. If your heat pump struggles to maintain a consistent temperature in your home, it might be due to a worn-out compressor or a refrigerant leak. As the result, the heat pump might experience increased cycling or running time, which can cause wear and tear on the unit and lead to higher energy bills.
