Poor Maintenance Can Cost You
A badly maintained system can cost you. On average, an ignored 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 stop working or not last as long.

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

No heat. Check your thermostat is positioned to “on” and “heat.” Next, make sure a circuit breaker hasn’t tripped. Recently put in a new thermostat? Make sure it’s a model made 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 get rid of 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 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 inside temperature. If you get warm air, there may be trouble with your outdoor unit. Cold air means there’s possibly 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 have too little refrigerant.

Heat pump turns on and off frequently. Replace your air filter and then check your thermostat, because it may need to be reset or need new batteries. If it’s cold and your system is running all the time, 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, turn off your system and get in touch with Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning. This could signal a serious problem.
