Quality Heat Pump Service in Waldorf

Quality Heat Pump Repair and Replacement in Waldorf

Not only can an electric heat pump warm your home in Waldorf, it can cool it too. When compared to conventional heating systems—like a gas furnace—you’ll also likely have a reduced electrical bill.

Heat pumps accompany an air handler, which moves air throughout your home. While an air handler might have the appearance of a furnace, it doesn’t create heat through fuel combustion. However, some air handler models may have secondary electric heating or cooling parts to assist the heat pump.

When you need heat pump service or heat pump repair, call A-PLUS Service Experts. We can repair any kind of heat pump. Our technicians are NATE-certified, which means they are among the best in the HVAC industry when it comes to heating and cooling.

Poor Maintenance Can Cost You
A badly maintained system can cost you. On average, a neglected heat pump can consume 10 to 25 percent more energy, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. It’s also more likely to break down 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 guide below.

No heat. Check your thermostat is switched to “on” and “heat.” Next, make sure a circuit breaker hasn’t tripped. Recently installed a new thermostat? Make sure it’s a model appropriate for heat pumps and wired properly.

Insufficient heat. Clogged filters, fan and coils can lower airflow and damage your system. Swap your filter once a month, clean the unit’s coils and fan, and remove yard debris that may have accumulated 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 hot as a forced air furnace. But if the air still seems too chilly, set the thermostat to emergency heat and at least 5 degrees above the ambient temperature. If you get warm air, there may be an issue 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 have too little refrigerant.

Heat pump turns on and off frequently. Replace your air filter and then look at your thermostat, because it may need to be adjusted or need new batteries. If it’s cold and your system is on continuously, 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 A-PLUS Service Experts. This could signal a serious problem.
