Quality Heat Pump Service in Longmont

Quality Heat Pump Repair and Replacement in Longmont

Not only can an electric heat pump warm your home in Longmont, it can cool it too. When compared to traditional heating systems—like a gas furnace—you’ll also likely have a decreased heating and cooling bill.

Heat pumps function with an air handler, which distributes air throughout your home. While an air handler might look like a furnace, it doesn’t make 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, turn to Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning. We can service any type of heat pump. Our technicians are ACE-certified, which means they are among the best in the HVAC industry when it comes to heating and cooling.

And like all our other work, our services for heat pump systems are backed by a one-year 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.*

Poor Maintenance Can Cost You
A poorly maintained system can cost you. On average, a neglected heat pump can consume 10 to 25 percent more energy, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. It’s also more likely to break down or fail prematurely.

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

No heat. Check your thermostat is positioned 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 made for heat pumps and wired correctly.

Insufficient heat. Dirty filters, fan and coils can lower airflow and harm your system. Put in a new filter once a month, clean the unit’s coils and fan, and remove yard debris that may have accumulated 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 hot as a forced air furnace. But if the air still seems too cold, set the thermostat to emergency heat and at least 5 degrees above the ambient temperature. If you get warm air, there may be an issue with your outdoor unit. Cold air means there’s likely an issue with your thermostat or air handler. Your system may have also gone into defrost mode to prevent 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 be low on refrigerant.

Heat pump turns on and off frequently. Replace your air filter and then monitor your thermostat, because it may need to be adjusted or need new batteries. If it’s cold and your system is running continuously, the thermostat may be set too high. Also, some heat pumps become ineffective 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, stop using your system and call Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning. This could suggest a serious problem.
