Painesville Heat Pump Repair Company
Before calling our team to schedule professional assistance, there are a few things you can check yourself. Inspect your thermostat settings to ensure they’re correct. Replace the batteries if necessary. Also, check your air filter. If clogs are present, this can restrict airflow and impede performance.
There are many common heat pump issues that we can address.
- Refrigerant leaks
- Frozen coils
- Airflow problems
- Electrical failures
A refrigerant leak occurs as a result of frozen coils or damage to lines. You may start to see a change in system efficiency. If you neglect to address a refrigerant leak, your system can experience permanent damage.
Electrical concerns can stem from wear and tear or exposure to the elements. Improper installation techniques may also be to blame. We can often catch these issues during a routine inspection. You may have electrical issues if your heat pump isn’t turning on at all.
A blower fan is necessary for drawing in outside air and moving it over the heat exchanger coils. This is also an important component that helps distribute air and perform a normal defrost cycle. If your blower fan is malfunctioning and in need of repairs, you may notice temperature issues, or your unit may overheat. We may need to repair the blower fan motor, lubricate moving parts, or clean away debris.
If your heat pump is over ten years old, repairs may not be affordable or sufficient. While we can perform an emergency heat pump service to keep you going temporarily, it may be worth replacing it. We typically recommend that you replace your heat pump with a more modern and efficient model. On average, a heat pump will last between 10 and 15 years. If the repair frequency is increasing and your unit is over 10 years old, talk to our team about other options.
