Heat pumps accompany an air handler, which moves air throughout your home. While an air handler might resemble 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.

Poor Maintenance Can Cost You
A badly maintained system can cost you. On average, an uncared-for heat pump can consume 10 to 25 percent more energy, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. It’s also more likely to malfunction or fail prematurely.

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

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

Insufficient heat. Clogged filters, fan and coils can reduce airflow and damage your system. Put in a new filter once a month, clean the unit’s coils and fan, and remove 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 warm 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 inside temperature. If you get warm air, there may be trouble 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 avoid 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 need refrigerant.

Heat pump turns on and off frequently. Replace your air filter and then monitor your thermostat, because it may need to be recalibrated or need new batteries. If it’s cold and your system is on constantly, 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, switch off your system and call Peitz Service Experts. This could suggest a serious problem.
