• Can I repair my own Heat Pump?

Also, Cooling systems today are more complicated to service than ever before, now being comprised of solid state circuit boards and sensors.

An certified heat pump contractor or service technician should be called at the first sign of trouble.
• What happens if you don’t clean your heat pump?
  When dirty or broken components restrict the airflow, this damages the compressor and decreases the heat pump’s efficiency levels. Not only is it important to clean your heat pump regularly, but you should also have it checked by a certified heating technician once a year.

• Why is my heat pump not working in extreme cold weather?
  If your heat pump isn’t working well, check to see if the outdoor unit is frozen over. If the temperature is too low, ice may have gathered on the device. This obstructs airflow and prevents heat absorption. Usually, heat pumps have defrosters which help alleviate this problem.
• Can a bad compressor be repaired?
