• 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.
• 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.

  Some common causes of heat pump failure include issues with the thermostat, power supply, refrigerant levels, and outdoor coil. Each of these issues may have its own underlying causes that will need to be addressed in order to fix the problem permanently.
• 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 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.
