Quality Heat Pump Service in Fort Myers

Quality Heat Pump Repair and Replacement in Fort Myers

Not only can an electric heat pump warm your home in Fort Myers, 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 resemble a furnace, it doesn’t make heat through fuel combustion. However, some air handler models may have secondary electric heating or cooling parts to help out the heat pump.

Poor Maintenance Can Cost You
A poorly maintained system can cost you. On average, an ignored heat pump can guzzle 10 to 25 percent more energy, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. It’s also more likely to break down or fail prematurely.

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

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

Insufficient heat. Clogged filters, fan and coils can lower airflow and damage your system. Swap your filter once a month, clean the unit’s coils and fan, and remove yard debris that may have built up 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 crisp, 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 probably an issue with your thermostat or air handler. Your system may have also gone into defrost mode to avoid 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 be low on refrigerant.

Heat pump turns on and off frequently. Swap out your air filter and then look at your thermostat, because it may need to be recalibrated or need new batteries. If it’s cold and your system is running all the time, 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, switch off your system and call Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning. This could indicate a serious problem.
