Quality Heat Pump Repair and Replacement in Fort Wayne

Not only can an electric heat pump heat your home in Fort Wayne, it can cool it too. When stacked up against a traditional 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 make heat through fuel combustion. However, some air handler models may have secondary electric heating or cooling parts to help out the heat pump.

Poor Maintenance Can Cost You
An insufficiently maintained system can cost you. On average, an uncared-for heat pump can eat up 10 to 25 percent more energy, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. It’s also more likely to malfunction or fail prematurely.

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 positioned 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 compatible with heat pumps and wired properly.

Insufficient heat. Filthy filters, fan and coils can lower airflow and damage your system. Change your filter once a month, clean the unit’s coils and fan, and remove yard debris that may have accumulated 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 cold, set the thermostat to emergency heat and at least 5 degrees above the ambient temperature. If you get warm air, there may be a problem 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 stop it from icing 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 be low on 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 working continuously, the thermostat may be set too high. Also, some heat pumps have trouble heating 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, turn off your system and contact Rolf Griffin Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning. This could signal a serious problem.
