Quality Heat Pump Repair and Replacement in Dallas

Not only can an electric heat pump raise the temperature in your home in Dallas, it can cool it too. When stacked up against a traditional heating systems—like a gas furnace—you’ll also likely have a reduced 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 create 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
An insufficiently maintained system can cost you. On average, an ignored 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 break down or fail prematurely.

When your HVAC system isn’t delivering the best home heating or isn’t working properly, try our troubleshooting guide below.

No heat. Check your thermostat is set to “on” and “heat.” Next, make sure a circuit breaker hasn’t tripped. Recently installed a new thermostat? Make sure it’s a model appropriate for heat pumps and wired properly.

Insufficient heat. Clogged filters, fan and coils can limit airflow and harm your system. Change your filter once a month, clean the unit’s coils and fan, and remove yard debris that may have gathered 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 crisp, set the thermostat to emergency heat and at least 5 degrees above the inside temperature. If you get warm air, there may be a problem with your outdoor unit. Cold air means there’s possibly an issue with your thermostat or air handler. Your system may have also gone into defrost mode to avoid 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 look at your thermostat, because it may need to be reset or need new batteries. If it’s cold and your system is working constantly, 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, switch off your system and get in touch with Levy & Son Service Experts. This could signal a serious problem.
