Quality Heat Pump Service in Jackson

Quality Heat Pump Repair and Replacement in Jackson

Not only can an electric heat pump raise the temperature in your home in Jackson, it can cool it too. When weighed against conventional heating systems—like a gas furnace—you’ll also likely have a lower 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 back up the heat pump.

Poor Maintenance Can Cost You
A poorly 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 stop working or not last as long.

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

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

Insufficient heat. Clogged filters, fan and coils can lower airflow and damage your system. Swap your filter once a month, clean the unit’s coils and fan, and get rid of 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 hot 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 room 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 prevent freezing. 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 check your thermostat, because it may need to be recalibrated 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 become ineffective 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 Comfortech Service Experts . This could signal a serious problem.
