4 Most Common Heat Pump Repairs
A heat pump is a uniquely designed system that gives your home heating and cooling throughout the year. Suppose you’ve recently purchased a heat pump or currently own one. In that case, it is also essential that your appliance receive regular maintenance. Not doing so will lead to unexpected and costly repairs such as these:
Electrical Malfunction
Heat pumps are electrical devices that power indoor and outdoor fans and compressors. With continued use, electrical issues will come up, such as a loose connection requiring repairs or, in some instances, replacement.
Leaking Refrigerant
Just like any air conditioner, there are several possibilities why your heat pump system is leaking refrigerant. The poorly installed unit has some form of damage, metal erosion, or age. That will require an HVAC professional to seal any leaks and recharge the pump’s refrigerant.
Not Defrosting
On the heat pump’s outdoor coil, you will often see a small layer of frost build-up from releasing or absorbing heat, which is typical. Should that icy layer continue getting thicker, the pump’s defrosting cycle has failed, needing immediate assistance from an HVAC professional.
Stuck Valve
Reversing valves will often get stuck due to switching from a cooling mode to heating and vice versa. That can happen when the heat pump needs to reverse the flow of refrigerant. Should the valve get stuck or broken, a heat pump specialist will make the repairs.
4 Tips for Maintaining Your Heat Pump System
───
A well-maintained heat pump system will remain a healthy appliance that provides many years of uninterrupted heating and cooling. To ensure your system runs at peak performance and switches from heating to cooling when needed, you can follow these maintenance tips:
1
Change Filters
One of the most manageable steps any homeowner can do is regularly change their heat pump filters. Depending on the filter type, clean the permanent air filters or replace disposable ones every three to six months.
3
Maintain 18” Clearance
With your heat pump installed outdoors, it is subject to all forms of uncontrollable weather conditions, which will affect its performance. That is why you must always keep leaves, grass clippings, and any other forms of debris away from the outdoor unit.
2
Routine Maintenance
Similar to a standard HVAC heating and cooling system, heat pumps require ongoing inspection, cleaning, and maintenance twice a year. The best time to have your appliance checked is just before winter and summer.
4
Remove Ice & Snow
During the harsh winter months, temperatures drop dramatically, rain turns to snow, and ice starts forming. Those severe weather conditions can easily harm your heat pump system. Make sure your unit is free of ice and snow build-up.
