Quality Heat Pump Service in Atlanta

Quality Heat Pump Repair and Replacement in Atlanta

Not only can an electric heat pump heat your home in Atlanta, it can cool it too. When weighed against traditional heating systems—like a gas furnace—you’ll also likely have a reduced energy bill.

Heat pumps work with an air handler, which moves air throughout your home. While an air handler might resemble a furnace, it doesn’t produce heat through fuel combustion. However, some air handler models may have secondary electric heating or cooling parts to back up the heat pump.

Poor Maintenance Can Cost You
An insufficiently maintained system can cost you. On average, an uncared-for heat pump can consume 10 to 25 percent more energy, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. It’s also more likely to stop working or fail prematurely.

When your HVAC system isn’t delivering the best home heating or isn’t working correctly, try our troubleshooting list below.

No heat. Check your thermostat is set to “on” and “heat.” Next, make sure a circuit breaker hasn’t tripped. Recently installed a new thermostat? Make sure it’s a model compatible with heat pumps and wired accurately.

Insufficient heat. Filthy filters, fan and coils can lower airflow and damage your system. Put in a new filter once a month, clean the unit’s coils and fan, and get rid of 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 warm 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 a problem with your outdoor unit. Cold air means there’s likely an issue with your thermostat or air handler. Your system may have also gone into defrost mode to stop it from icing up. If you see frost or ice on the outdoor coil, your unit may have a defective defroster timer or control module, or it could be low on refrigerant.

Heat pump turns on and off frequently. Swap out your air filter and then check your thermostat, because it may need to be adjusted or need new batteries. If it’s cold and your system is on constantly, the thermostat may be set too high. Also, some heat pumps don’t work well 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, stop using your system and contact Peachtree Service Experts. This could signal a serious problem.
