Can I Repair My Heat Pump on My Own? 

You really shouldn’t. Heat pumps and HVAC systems as a whole are incredibly complex. Heat pumps specifically run on electricity to heat and cool your home, so attempting a DIY repair is dangerous if you don’t know what you are doing.

Hiring a professional like Eternity HVAC ensures that the technician who shows up at your door knows exactly what to do in order to get your heat pump up and running in no time at all. In addition, heat pumps installed and maintained by a professional are usually more reliable and safe. 

Signs of a Faulty Heat Pump 

If you come home from work one day and notice that your home is uncomfortably warm, your first thought is probably to head to the thermostat to figure out what is going on. After checking to make sure the thermostat is set at the right temperature, it’s time to dig a little deeper to figure out why your heat pump isn’t working right. Inspect your system to look for these classic signs of an issue that would prompt the need for a heat pump repair:

• Loud noises are coming from the unit
• Strange smells like something is burning
• The unit fails to turn on
• Warm air is coming out of your unit
• The pump is constantly running

Noticing these signs should prompt you to call Eternity HVAC right away for quick maintenance. Tackling these issues quickly reduces the risk of a full system failure or more serious problems from occurring. 

Common Heat Pump Maintenance 

While it is true that heat pumps are complex, they have common maintenance issues that are easily diagnosable. Professional technicians will recognize these common issues during an initial evaluation.

Refrigerant Issues

Heat pumps require refrigerant to heat and cool your air, and leaks can happen from time to time if lines get loose or corroded. A refrigerant leak also strains your compressor, so take quick action if warm air is coming out of your vents. 

Clogged Air Filters

As air circulates through your unit, it passes through an air filter. These filters catch the dirt, debris, and allergens to protect your air quality, but they do get dirty or clogged over time. This strains your heat pump system and will cause it to slow down or not run as efficiently. 

Faulty or Blocked Fan Motors 

Heat pumps need adequate airflow to function properly, and issues with the fan or motor make it harder for the unit to pull air in. Shrubs and other vegetation can also grow too close to the vents, affecting airflow. Sometimes simply pruning your landscaping is a reliable solution. 

Addressing these issues immediately will help you save money down the road! Small repairs are less costly than major issues that await you if you ignore the signs.
