• Can I repair my own Heat Pump?

  Heat Pumps are on a 240 volt circuit. Severe shock or electrocution is possible without a thorough understanding of electricity. Also, Cooling systems today are more complicated to service than ever before, now being comprised of solid state circuit boards and sensors. They usually require expert attention in order to comply with federal regulations, such as the Clean Air Act which prohibits releasing refrigerants into the atmosphere. 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.

• Can a dirty filter cause heat pump not to work?

  Because there is less air to condition, the system can’t push out enough air to reach your desired temperature. This is when homeowners call technicians to say that the heat pump system doesn’t work. When the system runs long enough with a dirty air filter, heat pump repairs are needed.

• What does a bad heat pump compressor sound like?

  Gurgles point to low refrigerant levels, which can severely affect performance. A precursor to shrieking, grinding noises indicate dirty components or the need for lubrication. Unbearably loud shrieking noises usually indicate a faulty compressor under high pressure. Shut down your system immediately.
