As we transition from summer to fall, the time will soon arrive when you\u2019ll switch from cooling your home to heating your home. In a perfect world, that transition is an easy one. However, this isn\u2019t always the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a heat pump system, sometimes the transition is made more difficult by the fact that your heat pump is a 2-in-1 system that has been working hard all summer. If you\u2019re experiencing problems with your heat pump, here are some of the most common reasons for heat pump repair<\/a>. Whenever you\u2019re not happy with its performance, we\u2019re here to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. It Won\u2019t Switch Modes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Is it freezing outside and your heat pump is blowing cold air instead of hot air? Or perhaps it\u2019s scorching hot and your heat pump is blowing hot air. In this case, the probable culprit is the reversing valve. This is the most essential component in your heat pump\u2019s ability to switch from heating to cooling mode and vice versa. Luckily, this is a quick fix for a professional HVAC technician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Reduced Airflow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Is it taking longer than usual to cool down your home? Have your utility bills gone up with no correlation in usage? You can check your heat pump\u2019s airflow by holding your hand up to a vent. It should be strong, steady, and decidedly hot or cold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If this isn\u2019t happening, this issue should be fixed quickly. Try changing the air filter. If that doesn\u2019t help, there could be a refrigerant leak somewhere in the system. Until it\u2019s fixed, your heat pump won\u2019t be able to properly cool your home down and may break down altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Short Cycling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Does it seem like your heat pump is running constantly but isn\u2019t cooling your house down? Short cycling is a frustrating situation that might leave you scratching your head and wondering what\u2019s going on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Short cycling occurs when your heat pump is unable to complete a heating or cooling cycle. It will turn on for 5-10 minutes, then turn itself off just as abruptly, and it keeps doing this over and over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a huge problem for many reasons. First of all, it keeps the thermostat from reaching the set temperature. Secondly, it causes tremendous wear and tear on your system. Short cycling requires immediate attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Strange Noises<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you turn on your heat pump and it makes any of these noises, it\u2019s a good sign that it\u2019s in need of some professional attention. Hissing, gurgling, grinding, banging, or shrieking noises are not ones you want to hear coming from your heat pump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From a dirty air filter to a loose part, a refrigerant leak to a lack of lubrication between moving parts, none of these are issues that can be allowed to go on for very long. Call us for prompt repairs whenever you hear strange, loud, and unexpected sounds from your heat pump. We\u2019ll remedy the problem and get your heat pump back to working quietly and efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
