Quality Heat Pump Service in Gainesville

Quality Heat Pump Repair and Replacement in Gainesville

Not only can an electric heat pump warm your home in Gainesville, it can cool it too. When weighed against conventional heating systems—like a gas furnace—you’ll also likely have a reduced heating and cooling bill.

Heat pumps function with an air handler, which moves air throughout your home. While an air handler might look like a furnace, it doesn’t produce heat through fuel combustion. However, some air handler models may have secondary electric heating or cooling parts to back up the heat pump.

When you need heat pump service or heat pump repair, call Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning. We can work on any type of heat pump. Our technicians are ACE-certified, which means they are among the finest in the HVAC industry when it comes to heating and cooling.

Poor Maintenance Can Cost You
A poorly maintained system can cost you. On average, an ignored heat pump can guzzle 10 to 25 percent more energy, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. It’s also more likely to malfunction or not last as long.

When your HVAC system isn’t giving the best home heating or isn’t working properly, try our troubleshooting guide below.

No heat. Check your thermostat is switched to “on” and “heat.” Next, make sure a circuit breaker hasn’t tripped. Recently put in a new thermostat? Make sure it’s a model appropriate for heat pumps and wired accurately.

Insufficient heat. Filthy filters, fan and coils can lower airflow and damage your system. Change your filter once a month, clean the unit’s coils and fan, and clear yard debris that may have gathered around it. Your system may also have blocked air ducts, faulty valves or poor refrigeration flow.

Cold air instead of heat. Air from a heat pump won’t be as toasty as a forced air furnace. But if the air still seems too chilly, set the thermostat to emergency heat and at least 5 degrees above the inside temperature. If you get warm air, there may be an issue with your outdoor unit. Cold air means there’s probably an issue with your thermostat or air handler. Your system may have also gone into defrost mode to stop it from freezing. If you see frost or ice on the outdoor coil, your unit may have a defective defroster timer or control module, or it could have too little refrigerant.

Heat pump turns on and off frequently. Swap out your air filter and then look at your thermostat, because it may need to be adjusted or need new batteries. If it’s cold and your system is running all the time, the thermostat may be set too high. Also, some heat pumps have trouble heating around 25 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit.

Rattling, grinding or squealing noises. If you hear rattling, try tightening the cover panels. If you hear grinding or squealing, switch off your system and contact Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning. This could signal a serious problem.
