Quality Heat Pump Repair and Replacement in Boise

Not only can an electric heat pump warm your home in Boise, it can cool it too. When stacked up against a conventional heating systems—like a gas furnace—you’ll also likely have a decreased electrical bill.

Heat pumps accompany an air handler, which circulates air throughout your home. While an air handler might look like a furnace, it doesn’t make 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
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 stop working or have a shorter life span.

When your HVAC system isn’t giving the best home heating or isn’t working in a reliable manner, try our troubleshooting list below.

No heat. Check your thermostat is positioned to “on” and “heat.” Next, make sure a circuit breaker hasn’t tripped. Recently put in a new thermostat? Make sure it’s a model compatible with heat pumps and wired properly.

Insufficient heat. Clogged filters, fan and coils can limit airflow and wreck your system. Change your filter once a month, clean the unit’s coils and fan, and clear 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 cold, 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 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 need refrigerant.

Heat pump turns on and off frequently. Change your air filter and then monitor 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 don’t work well 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 contact TML Service Experts. This could signal a serious problem.
