Heat Pumps Repair Installation

Changing filters regularly is essential to maintaining a heat pump system. Proper operation of your heat pump will save energy. Do not set back the heat pump’s thermostat if it causes the backup heating to come on—backup heating systems are usually more expensive. Continuous indoor fan operation can degrade heat pump performance unless your system uses a high-efficiency, variable-speed fan motor.

Operate the system on the thermostat’s “auto” fan setting

Consider installing (or having a professional install) a programmable thermostat with multistage functions suitable for a heat pump.
Proper maintenance is critical to efficient operation, as with all heating and cooling systems. The difference between the energy consumption of a well-maintained heat pump and a severely neglected one ranges from 10% to 25%.

Clean or change filters once a month or as needed

Maintain the system according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Dirty filters, coils, and fans reduce airflow through the system. Reduced airflow decreases system performance and can damage your system’s compressor. Clean outdoor coils whenever they appear dirty; occasionally, turn off power to the fan and clean it; remove vegetation and clutter around the outdoor unit. Clean your home’s supply and return registers, and straighten their fins if bent.

It would be best to have a professional technician service your heat pump at least annually

The technician can do the following:

Inspect ducts, filters, blower, and indoor coil for dirt and other obstructions
Diagnose and seal duct leakage
Verify adequate airflow by measurement
Verify correct refrigerant charge by measurement
Check for refrigerant leaks
Inspect electric terminals, and, if necessary, clean and tighten connections, and apply nonconductive coating
Lubricate motors and inspect belts for tightness and wear
Verify correct electric control, making sure that heating is locked out when the thermostat calls for cooling and vice versa
Verify correct thermostat operation
