Quality Heat Pump Repair and Replacement in Jacksonville

Not only can an electric heat pump warm your home in Jacksonville, it can cool it too. When stacked up against a traditional heating systems—like a gas furnace—you’ll also likely have a reduced heating and cooling bill.

Heat pumps function with an air handler, which distributes air throughout your home. While an air handler might resemble a furnace, it doesn’t create heat through fuel combustion. However, some air handler models may have secondary electric heating or cooling parts to help out the heat pump.

Poor Maintenance Can Cost You
An insufficiently maintained system can cost you. On average, an ignored 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 fail prematurely.

When your HVAC system isn’t delivering the best home heating or isn’t working correctly, 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 replaced your thermostat? Make sure it’s a model compatible with 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 remove 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 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 trouble 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 avoid frosting up. 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 running continuously, the thermostat may be set too high. Also, some heat pumps become ineffective 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 call Air Engineers Service Experts. This could signal a serious problem.
