For residents of Laurel, Maryland, the winters can be incredibly harsh and reach temperatures below freezing, while summers can be hot and humid. It’s important to be ready for these extreme temperatures with a properly functioning HVAC system. Unfortunately, your heat pump can go out at any moment, especially if you don’t conduct regular maintenance or if your heat pump unit is older. If you’re experiencing any issues with your heat pump, contact us at Grove Heating & Cooling for help! We can provide immediate help to repair your heat pump.
If you have a heat pump installed in your home, it’s important to be on the lookout for common issues that can impact the system. Below is a list of the most common signs your heat pump might not be working as smoothly as it should.
If you notice it takes a lot of energy for your heat pump to produce air that is not strong enough to circulate around your home, this is known as poor airflow. Poor airflow can be caused by a number of issues, including an aging and inefficient system, leaks in your ducts and even improper installation. An HVAC technician at Grove Heating & Cooling can help diagnose the root cause of your system’s poor airflow.
If you notice your energy bills continue to rise despite not using your heat pump more, this means your heat pump is using more energy than it should to function. Unfortunately, energy bills will continue to rise if your heat pump issues are not addressed early on.
Short cycling occurs when your ductless mini split turns on and off too quickly before it can fully heat or cool your home. Short cycling can indicate your system is reaching the end of its life cycle or is not powerful enough to cool or heat your entire home. Improper installation can contribute to this problem.
Loose parts or even damaged parts, such as coils and fans, can lead to loud, strange noises. From buzzing sounds to loud banging noises, these are not normal and should be immediately addressed by a heating repair technician. We will send an HVAC technician to determine if your strange noises are due to debris, or loose or damaged parts.
Musty or moldy smells are difficult to deal with, and they can be dangerous for your health if your heat pump has mold or other types of bacteria within its filter or system. If you notice any musty smells or foul smells, this could be due to the buildup of mold or even a dead animal lurking inside of your heat pump. Call us right away so we can inspect your heat pump and remove any debris.
Your fans should come on as soon as you turn on your heat pump. Fans are crucial for your heat pump to work since they will come on and transfer heat from the inside of your home to the outside to cool it, or transport the cool air from your home outside to heat up your home. If your system’s fans do not turn on, this is a major issue with your heat pump.
It’s important to repair your heat pump as soon as possible. If you repair your heat pump, there are several benefits you might find, which we’ve listed below:
By repairing your heat pump, you can rest assured the energy bills that were once rising will now remain steady. Lowered energy bills are just one of the many benefits of repairing your heat pump.
