Challenges With Heat Pumps

functionality

You may notice a decline in the efficiency or functionality of your heat pump after some time has passed. Challenges with heat pumps can be difficult to address because there are a variety of factors that could be at play. The following list will provide you with five of the most typical issues and some troubleshooting advice for residential heat pumps.

Increased Noise In My Hvac Fan

If your heat pump is getting louder, this can cause concern. You’re probably used to the sounds your heat pump usually makes, so if you think it’s a little noisier than usual, it probably is. Heat pumps don’t usually get louder for no reason, so it’s best to figure out where the noise comes from and fix it as soon as possible.

Your unit’s extra noise could be coming from several places. If it sounds like clang or bang this could be a problem with your fan that needs to be fixed as soon as possible. Something could be loose in the system if there are loud vibrations. If the noise level increases, you should call an HVAC expert to help fix the problem.

Heat Pump Coils Freezing Up In The Summer

Typically, you wouldn’t expect your heat pump to freeze in summer. When the weather is hot in the summer, it seems like nothing could ever freeze. Still, this is a common problem with heat pumps in the summer and can lead to other issues. In the summer, when heat pumps freeze, only part of the unit is frozen. This will happen to the heat pump coils, which are significant parts of your unit. If your heat pump coils are frozen, the rest of your unit will have to work twice as hard. This will use more energy and not cool as well. Some things could be causing your heat pump coils to freeze. A standard answer is that it needs more refrigerant. When your system is low on refrigerant, the pressure drops. This makes the coil get colder. Another problem could be that your system doesn’t get enough air because the air filters are dirty. This keeps warm air from reaching the coil, which keeps it from freezing.
