Quality Heat Pump Repair and Replacement in Rochester

Not only can an electric heat pump raise the temperature in your home in Rochester, it can cool it too. When stacked up against a standard heating systems—like a gas furnace—you’ll also likely have a decreased electrical bill.

Heat pumps accompany an air handler, which moves air throughout your home. While an air handler might resemble a furnace, it doesn’t produce 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
A badly maintained system can cost you. On average, a neglected 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 stop working 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 switched 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 accurately.

Insufficient heat. Filthy filters, fan and coils can reduce airflow and harm your system. Put in a new filter once a month, clean the unit’s coils and fan, and remove 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 warm 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 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 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 have too little refrigerant.

Heat pump turns on and off frequently. Swap out your air filter and then check your thermostat, because it may need to be adjusted 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 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, stop using your system and get in touch with Strogen's Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning. This could suggest a serious problem.
