How to Tell If You Need Heat Pump Repair

Learn to spot the signs that your heat pump isn’t working the way it should. If you notice something wrong, give Heatwave Air Conditioning and Heating a call. We’ll come out and take a look whenever you need us.

Your Heat Pump is Noisy

If your heat pump isn’t working properly, you might hear strange noises.This is one of the more common signs that something is damaged or needs to be repaired.The noises may sound like rattering, sputtering, buzzing, or loud vibrations. A properly functioning heat pump should be virtually noiseless. If your heat pump is making loud sounds, it’s a good idea to contact a Tucson HVAC technician to take a look at your unit. Don’t wait it until it stops working entirely. Identifying and addressing a problem early on can prevent a costly heat pump replacement.

Your Heating Bill Went Up

If your heat pump isn’t working efficiently, it may be drawing a lot more energy than it should. It’s normal to see a change in your energy bill at the height of a season when you may be using your air conditioner or your heating more than you would at other times of the year. If you notice that your energy bills are a lot higher than they usually are in the winter, this could be the result of an inefficient heat pump.

Newer heat pumps are built for efficiency. They can generate a lot of heat with the fraction of the energy that older heat pumps use. Consider replacing your heat pump with a newer model. It will pay for itself with what you’ll save in utility bills.

The Air Isn’t Moving

Your heat pump pushes air through a filter. How long has it been since you’ve changed your filter? Dirty air filters can often restrict air flow. If your heat pump’s filter hasn’t been replaced, this is what could be causing your pump to work less efficiently. If you find that replacing the air filter doesn’t change anything, then an HVAC specialist can look further into the unit and properly identify and resolve the issue. If you need help replacing the filter, we can assist you.

How Long Do Heat Pumps Last?

Most heat pumps should last 10 to 15 years depending on how often you use them and how well you maintain them. If your 10 year old heat pump is broken, it may be wiser to replace it. It’s already at the end of its lifespan, and newer heat pumps are designed to work at maximum efficiency.

If your heat pump is less than ten years old, it may be better to repair your heat pump. We’ll always be straightforward with you after we check. If a repair is going to be a waste of money, we’ll tell you. We’ll also tell you if a replacement isn’t necessary.

How Often Should I Have My Heat Pump Serviced?

The best time to have your heat pump serviced is before it breaks. It’s a good idea to have an experienced contractor inspect and maintain your heat pump at least once a year. Heatwave’s Comfort First service helps Tucson homeowners schedule maintenance appointments for their heating and cooling equipment.
