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 energy bill.

Heat pumps work with 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 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 eat up 10 to 25 percent more energy, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. It’s also more likely to malfunction or not last as long.

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

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

Insufficient heat. Filthy filters, fan and coils can lower airflow and wreck your system. Swap your filter once a month, clean the unit’s coils and fan, and clear yard debris that may have built up 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 warm 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 ambient temperature. If you get warm air, there may be an issue with your outdoor unit. Cold air means there’s probably an issue with your thermostat or air handler. Your system may have also gone into defrost mode to avoid 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 be low on refrigerant.

Heat pump turns on and off frequently. Replace your air filter and then look at your thermostat, because it may need to be recalibrated 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, turn off your system and contact A-PLUS Service Experts. This could indicate a serious problem.
