Five Signs Your Heat Pump Needs to Be Serviced
Now that you know some of the basic causes of heat pump damage, it might be helpful to hear how those concerns make themselves known. Here are some common signs something is faulty with your heat pump.
1. Heat Pump Covered in Ice
During the winter, it’s possible that your outdoor unit will have some ice buildup. When this occurs, your unit should move into a defrost cycle and reverse the refrigerant to melt the ice. If your whole unit is covered in ice and won’t defrost, you have an issue that needs professional help.
2. Heat Pump is Short Cycling
By short cycling, we mean that your heat pump kicks on and stops before it’s had time to bring your home to your chosen temperature. This is a sign that your heat pump is the wrong size for your home. And if it isn’t taken care of, it could wear your heat pump down.
3. Energy Bills are Going Up
Your heat pump is one of the most efficient HVAC solutions available—especially if you take care of it. If you’re doing everything you can to take care of it and are still seeing your energy costs climb, it’s time to call in a professional.
4. Heat Pump Is Noisy
Your heat pump isn’t going to be completely silent, but it also shouldn’t be noticeably noisy. If you’re hearing new sounds from your system—especially any that sound incorrect—you may want to have a professional inspect it.
