3 Unique Heat Pump Problems: And Our Solutions!

February 13th, 2023
heat-pumps-outside-home

Have any of our local heat pump owners felt a little left out?

Heat pumps tend to get overshadowed pretty often by furnaces and boilers in the wintertime, primarily because the sole purpose of these systems is to provide powerful heating for your home.

What are common heat pump problems that require repair and how are they fixed?

  • No power / system completely shut down
     The issue may be a mis-set thermostat, blown fuse or breaker, or electrical fault in the unit. A technician can test wiring, replace failed components, and restore power.
  • Heat pump runs continuously (never shuts off)
     This often happens in very cold weather, or when the unit is undersized for the home. A repair specialist can assess capacity mismatch or system inefficiencies.
  • Unit can’t meet thermostat demand
    Causes include blocked vents, clogged air filters, or refrigerant leaks. Solutions involve clearing airflow paths, cleaning or replacing filters, or repairing refrigerant lines under pressure diagnostics.

With heat pumps, they’re a multifaceted system with both heating and cooling options, so they tend to make up fewer calls from troubled homeowners, but they’re still important.

If you’re a heat pump owner in our neck of the woods, then you’re in luck! Heat pumps are popular here due to their incredible efficiency and eco-friendly nature.

However, they can still run into problems in the coldest months of the winter, so you’d better be ready to get them properly diagnosed.

The Problem With Old Wiring

January 16th, 2023

Around the turn of the 20th century, it became common for homes to be built with access to electricity. Wires were hooked up in basements and rooftops, fuse boxes were set up in houses throughout the area, and homeowners began picking up electrical appliances they could use right in their own houses. The electrification of America happened swiftly and efficiently.

However, a lot has changed since then, and electrical appliances require more energy than they ever did.
