Quality Heat Pump Service in Fort Lauderdale

Quality Heat Pump Repair and Replacement in Fort Lauderdale

Not only can an electric heat pump warm your home in Fort Lauderdale, it can cool it too. When weighed against 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 moves air throughout your home. While an air handler might have the appearance of a furnace, it doesn’t make heat through fuel combustion. However, some air handler models may have secondary electric heating or cooling parts to assist 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 malfunction or not last as long.

When your HVAC system isn’t giving the best home heating or isn’t working properly, try our troubleshooting guide 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 correctly.

Insufficient heat. Dirty filters, fan and coils can reduce 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 accumulated 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 room temperature. If you get warm air, there may be trouble with your outdoor unit. Cold air means there’s probably an issue with your thermostat or air handler. Your system may have also gone into defrost mode to prevent freezing. 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. Swap out your air filter and then monitor your thermostat, because it may need to be adjusted or need new batteries. If it’s cold and your system is working constantly, the thermostat may be set too high. Also, some heat pumps have trouble heating 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 call Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning. This could suggest a serious problem.
