Common Heat Pump Problems & Their Solutions
Heat pumps are a great HVAC option for your MetroWest home, but that doesn’t mean they won’t ever lose energy efficiency or break down. Whenever you detect problems with your heat pump, it’s important to have a licensed and insured HVAC technician inspect the unit to accurately diagnose the cause of the malfunction.
As your heat pump ages, you may notice some of the following issues:
- Constant operation: Constant operation can be caused by malfunctioning thermostats, dirty air filters, dirty coils, a stuck reversing valve, or refrigerant leaks. It is also caused by having an incorrectly sized heat pump.
- No airflow: If the heat pump isn’t operational, it can indicate problems with the thermostat, power supply, dirty air filters, or a bad starter capacitor.
- Frozen unit: If the outdoor unit is frozen, it may be because of dirty air filters, dirty coils, or refrigerant leaks.
- System short-cycling: If your unit turns off and on frequently without achieving the set temperature, the system could be incorrectly sized or overheated. Alternatively, you could be dealing with refrigerant leaks or a thermostat malfunction.
- Odd odors: Mold growth, pest infestations, and electrical problems can cause the heat pump to emit strange smells.
No matter the heat pump issue, Blue Bear Plumbing, Heating & Air can resolve it. Call 781-706-4682 or schedule heat pump repair online today!
Heat Pump Repair Vs. Replacement
In most cases, you can expect your heat pump to provide 10 to 15 years of reliable operation. As with all HVAC systems, you can expect performance and reliability to decrease and repair costs and frequency to increase as your heat pump ages.
Repairs are preferred, especially if you have a newer unit still covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. However, a new unit is the most cost-effective option if you have an older unit that requires any repair that exceeds more than 50% of the heat pump replacement cost.
We also recommend replacing your heat pump if it’s improperly sized for your home. Maybe you expanded your living space with a home addition, or you thought a larger unit wouldn’t need to run as much, but your HVAC system needs to be approximately sized to your home to meet your comfort needs. The unit will operate less efficiently, require more frequent repairs, and fail sooner than expected. Replacing it sooner rather than later can save you money in the long run.
