Heat Pump Repair Orlando, FL – Applying the Heat
If your heater runs all the time, if one room of your house is cold while the rest is warm and comfy, or if your electric bill has gone through the roof, you could be dealing with a faulty heat pump. Inconsistent temperatures result when the pump loses the ability to push warm air to all corners of your house. These cold spots cause the pump to work harder on heat transfer to compensate for its circulation deficiencies.
If you suspect an issue with your heat pump’s performance, call in the professional, bonded, and fully vetted professionals from Service Minds One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning to inspect, diagnose, and rectify the problem quickly and affordably.
What Could Go Wrong?
The intricate workings of your heat pump demand not only regular upkeep but also an astute awareness of the signs of dysfunction. Heat pumps often provide clues when there’s trouble in paradise. By addressing these signals promptly with the expertise Service Minds One Hour’s seasoned technicians deliver, you can ensure that your heat pump continues to provide reliable, efficient climate control for your home, maintaining an oasis of comfort irrespective of the season. Understanding these signals and responding promptly can significantly extend the life of your heat pump, ensuring it performs efficiently and effectively.
Several factors can indicate your heat pump needs help:
- Smells in the Air: A burning, or sulfuric “rotten egg” smell indicates a gas leak and requires immediate attention. But if the smell that arises when your heat pump turns on merely gives you the ick, it’s probably because there’s mold in the ducts or on the evaporator coils, which can be fixed with a simple service call.
- Silence is Broken: A healthy heat pump goes about its business quietly. When it speaks up, it’s time to listen. A rattling sound probably means something has broken loose, while squeaks, it’s likely the motor is feeling poorly.
- Room-temperature Air: If the thermostat is set to the correct temperature but the heat pump is not cooling or heating the air as required, the vent cover, coils, air ducts, or air handler may need attention.
- Short cycling: If your heat pump system is turning on and off frequently, your thermostat could be on the blink, or your fan or valves could be faulty.
- Uneven Distribution: When a heat pump is not blowing hot air evenly, creating cold or hot spots in the home, it is often a sign that the air filter is clogged.
Pump or Dump?
As one of the most efficient ways to heat and cool your Orlando home, heat pumps can be expected to do their job year after year. When it finally does show signs of malaise, you must decide: repair it or replace it? The answer, like all of life’s big questions, is “it depends.”
Consider these factors:
- Age: Heat pumps are designed to last around 15 years. If yours is under 10, it likely has more to give. Like many of us in middle age, all it may need is a little break, some encouragement, and a new part or two. A tune-up and a new fan assembly or other component, and it could be as good as new.
- Warranty: If the heat pump hasn’t yet outlived its manufacturer’s guarantee or extended service contract, by all means get it fixed rather than tossing it on the scrap heap.
- Repair Costs: If this is the first time your unit has let you down and the cost to get it back in the game is reasonable, some rehabilitation makes sense. But if your heat pump is constantly going on the disabled list, it could be time to draft its replacement.
The Service Minds One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning team can guide you to a rational decision about whether it’s worthwhile to try squeezing another couple of years out of your pump or whether it’s time to say goodbye and welcome a new, more efficient model into your home.
