Heat Pump Installation and Repair

The average home typically has two separate systems that control the home’s climate, one for air conditioning and one for heating.
Heat pumps, however, are one of the most efficient ways to heat and cool your home. This option can bring many benefits to homeowners who are looking for a more efficient way to control their home’s climate. Heat pumps are great for:

• Homes that have no ductwork
• Homes that are experiencing high energy bills
• Older homes
• Split heating and cooling of separate rooms

Unlike a typical furnace that generates heat and blows it throughout the home, a heat pump instead absorbs heat from the outside and compresses it to create more heat. This compression means that a heat pump can heat your home even if the air outside is colder than the air in your home.

A heat pump works in the opposite manner in the summer: warm hair is taken from inside the home and moved outside to provide cost- and energy-efficient air conditioning.

Heat pumps come in various types including mini-split heat pumps, absorption heat pumps, and reverse cycle chillers.

While heat pumps are one of the most energy-efficient and cost-effective solutions for heating your home, wear and tear and years of use can lead to system breakdowns. Just like other HVAC systems, heat pumps typically give warning signs when something is amiss that indicate your heat pump may need to be repaired or completely replaced. If you notice any issues with your heat pump, it’s best to enlist the assistance of one of our trained professionals who can resolve the issue before it becomes a bigger problem. These signs include:

• Loud noises: If your heat pump starts making unusual, loud noises, this can be an indicator of serious problems. If your system is groaning, clanking, or rattling, call a professional for repairs ASAP.
• Old age: A heat pump that is 12 years or older will likely not work as efficiently as it once did. If your heat pump has not been replaced within that time frame, you may need to call for repairs.
• Frequent cycling: There are a number of different reasons your heat pump may be cycling on and off and the best thing to do in that situation is to have a professional take a look.
• Inefficiency: When heat pumps start to reach the end of their lifespan, they may fail to adequately heat or cool the home. If you have noticed a lowered level of efficiency from your heating system, it may be time that you schedule repairs.
• Increased utility bills: If you have noticed that your energy bills are inexplicably rising, this could indicate a problem with your heat pump.
