Benefits of Heat Pump Maintenance
Increase unit’s lifespan
Because these systems are so expensive to replace, maintenance should be a staple in any home improvement plan. Maintenance prolongs the useful lifespan of the system, enabling it to perform at its best, which also reduces energy costs.
Avoid unexpected breakdowns
When a professional inspects your heat pump as scheduled, you’ll never run into surprise repairs. Often times, these issues will be found during a tune-up.
Decrease wear and tear on the parts
Having a professional clean your coils and replace the air filters promotes free airflow, which prevents wear and tear that could raise energy costs and reduce the heat pump’s lifespan;
Heat Pump Troubleshooting
If your heat pump is giving you trouble, there are a few things you can check before calling us. First, check if the thermostat is on and set to ‘heat’. If it is already on the heat mode, adjust the temperature upwards by 4 degrees, and then switch the fan on.
If the fan isn’t working, check the fuse and circuit breakers as they may need replacing. If they look alright, your wiring may be the problem so call in an electrician to repair that. On the other hand, if your fan works it is bringing in cold air, see if warm air is coming from the vents when you put the thermostat to emergency heat. This could mean that your outdoor unit has a problem. However, if the air isn’t warm, the thermostat may be the cause.
When in doubt as to what the problem is, always call in a certified technician from Lancaster Furnace & Air Conditioning to identify and handle your heat pump problems safely and effectively.
Heat Pump vs. Furnace: What’s The Difference?
Both can heat your home, but which one is better for you? Learn more about Furnace Installation and Heat Pump Installation today!
In warm weather, a furnace is idle and homeowners rely on a separate air conditioner unit. Heat pump owners reverse the setting on their heat pumps to cool their homes, eliminating the need for a separate AC appliance.
Additionally, by removing hot, muggy air from your home in the summer, heat pumps assist with humidity control, reducing your need for dehumidifiers.
