Common Signs That You Need Heat Pump Repair

It’s crucial to catch heat pump issues early to avoid costly replacements. While an average heat pump lasts 15 to 20 years, proper maintenance is key. 

Watch for these common indicators that your system is suffering:

Inconsistent Temperatures

If certain rooms in your home feel noticeably warmer or colder than others, your heat pump may be struggling to maintain balanced airflow or temperature control. This could stem from a failing thermostat, a malfunctioning reversing valve, or issues with ductwork distribution. Left unresolved, uneven temperatures can reduce comfort and increase energy waste. Our technicians can pinpoint the root cause and restore consistent comfort across your entire home.

Poor Airflow

If your heat pump seems to run endlessly without reaching your desired temperature, restricted airflow may be to blame. Clogged filters, blocked vents, dirty evaporator coils, or blower motor issues can all reduce the system’s efficiency and wear it down over time. Poor airflow not only compromises comfort but can also lead to overheating and premature system failure. A thorough inspection and cleaning from Priority’s certified techs can bring your system back up to speed.

Short Cycling or Constant Running

Your heat pump should operate in regular, efficient cycles. If it frequently turns on and off or runs continuously without pause, it may be experiencing electrical control issues, a malfunctioning thermostat, or improper sizing for your space. This behavior puts extra stress on the compressor, shortens the system’s lifespan, and drives up energy costs. Our professionals can recalibrate or repair your system to restore proper cycling and energy-efficient performance.

Loud, Unfamiliar System Noises

While some operational noise is normal, loud banging, rattling, or screeching sounds are major red flags. Banging can point to a loose component or a failing compressor, and screeching often indicates a worn-out motor bearing. Ignoring these unfamiliar noises can lead to catastrophic damage to your system. Trust our licensed and certified experts to swiftly diagnose and perform the professional heat pump repair needed.

Foul or Burning Odors

Odors emanating from your heat pump’s vents indicate an immediate need for professional service. A musty or moldy smell suggests biological growth or internal moisture issues, requiring cleaning and system adjustments. Critically, a burning smell signals a serious electrical safety hazard. If you notice this, turn the unit off immediately and call Priority Home Services for emergency assistance right away.

How We Prioritize Annual Maintenance and Tune-Ups

Preventive maintenance is the best defense against major heat pump repair needs. Annual tune-up services ensure your system runs at peak efficiency, prolonging its lifespan and preventing costly breakdowns. 

By having Priority Home Services perform a check-up, you can improve system performance, maintain a valid warranty, and avoid those frustrating last-minute emergency calls. Ask about our Priority Plus Membership for exclusive benefits!

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Services

Can I repair my own heat pump?

No, you should not try to repair your own heat pump. At Priority Home Services, our technicians are required to undergo proper training and certification to ensure they have the skills and knowledge to perform heat pump repairs safely and correctly. Heat pumps are incredibly complex systems that require extensive knowledge to properly repair. Most importantly, heat pumps run on 240 volts, and if not carefully handled, they can cause severe shock or electrocution. 

Should I switch to emergency heat when it gets below 35 degrees?

No, you should avoid switching to emergency heat when the temperature is below 35 degrees. Heat pumps can still provide adequate heat down to negative 10 degrees. The heat pump and the electric backup heat work automatically. If you have oil or gas backup, you can switch to emergency heat for more comfort, if needed, but be advised it’s much less efficient.

Can I put a cover over my outdoor heat pump?

No, it is not necessary to cover your outdoor heat pump. Heat pumps are designed to withstand the elements, and covering them can actually interfere with the system and result in adverse effects.

What does professional heat pump repair include?

Professional heat pump repair typically includes cleaning of the unit and its components, checking refrigerant levels, inspecting electrical connections and components, testing safety controls, lubricating moving parts, and more. The technician may also be able to identify any potential problems you weren’t aware of and make recommendations to keep your system running optimally.

What type of repairs do heat pumps typically require?

The most common types of repairs involve replacing worn-out fan motors and compressors, cleaning the evaporator coils, or recharging the refrigerant. Additionally, any water leaks should be addressed promptly to prevent further damage to your system.

What should I look for when hiring a company for heat pump repairs?

It’s important to ensure you find a company with experience and expertise in your particular brand and model of heat pump. Additionally, it’s also beneficial to research customer reviews and get quotes from multiple companies before making your final decision. Doing this can help you ensure that the service provider you choose is reliable, experienced, and offers competitive pricing.
