Signs like strange noises, reduced cooling efficiency, frequent cycling, or increased energy bills may indicate that your heat pump requires professional repair or, in some cases, replacement. A professional evaluation from Service Champions can help you decide the best course of action.
While heat pumps may run longer during peak summer heat to maintain your desired indoor temperature, continuous operation can indicate a potential issue. Have our expert technicians inspect your system if you notice this happening frequently, as it could indicate a problem with your heat pump or even with your thermostat.
Regularly clean or replace the air filters, keep outdoor units free from debris, and ensure proper insulation in your home. Preventive maintenance with our heating and cooling pros can also help you to avoid unexpected breakdowns.
Your heat pump may be struggling for a variety of reasons, including low refrigerant levels, dirty filters, or blocked coils. It’s essential to schedule a professional inspection with our team at (714) 584-6399 to diagnose and fix the issue promptly.
Our experts recommend scheduling professional pump maintenance at least once a year, preferably before the Southern, CA summer season begins, to ensure optimal performance during higher temperatures.
It should be noted that it is always important to have annual maintenance performed on your heat pump to ensure it is running properly and lasts as long as possible. The average lifespan of a heat pump is between 15 and 20 years. By ensuring your heat pump is properly maintained, you can make your heat pump last much longer, saving you money on an unnecessary replacement. By properly maintaining your heat pump, you can avoid costly repairs before they happen. Signs that your heat pump is likely in need of repair include:
If your monthly utility bills have increased seemingly out of nowhere, this could be due to your heat pump. If your utility bills have increased in conjunction with any of the following signs, you should call us as soon as possible to have your heat pump repaired and utility bills return to normal.
When your heat pump has dirty air filters, dirty coils, or is blocked by other debris, its blower motor can slow, which will lead to poor airflow. If your home is particularly dusty or is taking a while to heat, your pump may be suffering.
Heat pumps are naturally noisy machines, but if you begin to hear loud banging, rattling, or screeching noises, you will need professional assistance from our repair experts as soon as possible.
If you notice foul odors emitting from your heat pump, you will need to contact our pros right away. Musty and moldy smells indicate a potential mold problem internally, while burning smells signal a major safety hazard. If you smell a burning smell coming from your heat pump, call us immediately.
Does your home never seem to reach a comfortable temperature? When you turn the temperature up all the way, does it still feel cold in your house? This is probably due to a fan motor or thermistor issue within your heat pump system and will require professional repair from a certified technician.
If your heat pump is running at full blast with a steady airflow and you’re still cold, then your heat pump is acting up and needs to be inspected. The problem could be with the fan or fan motor. There might be some thermostat issues that need to be addressed.
It’s also possible that your heat pump’s electronic control board or PCB assembly is malfunctioning. The thermistor, which signals the main control board when to turn the compressor on or off, could be failing as well.
