Not only can an electric heat pump raise the temperature in your home in West Palm Beach, it can cool it too. When stacked up against a conventional heating systems—like a gas furnace—you’ll also likely have a lower electrical bill.

Poor Maintenance Can Cost You
A badly maintained system can cost you. On average, a neglected heat pump can eat up 10 to 25 percent more energy, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. It’s also more likely to stop working or have a shorter life span.

When your HVAC system isn’t delivering 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 properly.

Insufficient heat. Dirty filters, fan and coils can reduce airflow and harm 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 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 ambient temperature. If you get warm air, there may be a problem 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 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 be low on refrigerant.

Heat pump turns on and off frequently. Change your air filter and then check your thermostat, because it may need to be reset or need new batteries. If it’s cold and your system is working constantly, the thermostat may be set too high. Also, some heat pumps don’t work well 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, turn off your system and call Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning. This could indicate a serious problem.
