Signs It’s Time for Heat Pump Repair

If your heat pump won’t turn on no matter what you do, that’s an obvious indication that you need repairs. Sometimes, though, the signs can be more subtle. Here’s how to know when to schedule heat pump repair.

Your Home’s Temperature Is Uncomfortable

Even though your heat pump runs like usual, your home is suddenly extremely cold or far too hot. Excessively hot or cold air could indicate your heat pump’s electronic control board assembly is failing.

Your Energy Bills Are Through the Roof

This is a major sign that your heat pump needs repairs. If your energy costs have jumped by hundreds of dollars over the past few months, something is probably wrong with your unit. Sometimes, replacing the air filter is enough to bring your energy costs down. Ensuring your thermostat is set to a reasonable temperature helps, too.

Your Heat Pump Turns On and Off Constantly

If your heat pump turns itself on and off every few minutes, this is called short-cycling and is a big problem for your unit. Short-cycling requires your heat pump to work harder, meaning its components could fail sooner than expected.

Your Heat Pump Won’t Stop Running

Heat pumps sometimes run nonstop when the air filter is clogged. Other potential causes include a malfunctioning thermostat, a damaged compressor, or refrigerant leaks.

You Notice Strange Noises or Odd Smells Coming From the Pump

Weird noises and bad smells from your heat pump are never a good sign. Strange noises could mean a part is failing, and bad odors could indicate an issue with the electrical system. If you smell something rotting, an animal may have died inside or around the unit.

Perks of Heat Pump Repair

Benefits of heat pump repair include:

• Your heat pump will work properly when you need it. That means no suffering through a sweltering summer day just because your heat pump is on the fritz.
• Your heat pump will run more efficiently, which translates into lower energy bills for your household.
• If we have to replace a part, you won’t have to worry about replacement again for quite some time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some of the most common heat pump problems?

Leaking refrigerant is one of the most common heat pump problems. If your heat pump has a leak, it’ll struggle to reach the temperature on your thermostat, which will cause it to run longer. Other common problems include clogged air filters, dirty air coils, and condenser failures.

How do I know if my heat pump needs refrigerant?

If your heat pump needs refrigerant, you’ll likely hear a gurgling, bubbling, or hissing sound from the unit. Some units will alert you with a low refrigerant warning as well.

Why is my heat pump not keeping up in the summer?

Your heat pump might have trouble keeping up with summer cooling demands if it’s low on coolant. Coolant levels can drop significantly if the unit runs nearly nonstop during the summer. Your unit might also struggle to keep up if it’s undersized for your home.

How long do heat pumps last?

Most heat pumps should last for about 10 to 15 years. If yours is getting old and you don’t want to consider heat pump repair, ask us about choosing a replacement unit.
