Quality Heat Pump Service in Denver

Quality Heat Pump Repair and Replacement in Denver

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

Heat pumps accompany an air handler, which moves 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.

Poor Maintenance Can Cost You
A poorly 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 break down or have a shorter life span.

When your HVAC system isn’t delivering the best home heating or isn’t working correctly, 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 installed a new thermostat? Make sure it’s a model appropriate for heat pumps and wired accurately.

Insufficient heat. Filthy filters, fan and coils can lower airflow and damage your system. Put in a new filter once a month, clean the unit’s coils and fan, and get rid of 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 toasty as a forced air furnace. But if the air still seems too crisp, 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 stop it from 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. Change your air filter and then monitor your thermostat, because it may need to be recalibrated or need new batteries. If it’s cold and your system is on constantly, the thermostat may be set too high. Also, some heat pumps have trouble heating 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 call Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning. This could signal a serious problem.
