Call Our TeamOn average a heat pump is designed to last about 15 years without needing replacements. Of course, that number is an average. Many homeowners have used their heat pumps past 15 years and some people need a replacement earlier. Getting tune-ups, maintenance, and routine services can help ensure that your heat pump lasts as long as possible and that issues are found and addressed early. That said, it is important to know the signs that your heat pump needs maintenance or repairs. Here are the common signs that something is wrong with your heat pump. For repairs and maintenance in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, contact the team at North Shore Home Energy!
The most obvious problem something is wrong is when your heat pump will not turn on at all. There are a few reasons this could happen, and a few of them are easy to fix on your own. For example, there could be an issue with your heat pump’s connection to the thermostat leading the heat pump to stay inert even as it gets colder. A tripped breaker can also lead to your heat pump not turning so make sure to check your circuit breaker. But if it is not either of these obvious issues, you should consider calling repair crews who can take a look for you.
If your heat pump is not moving hot air there could be a problem with a clog or your air filter. Replacing your air filter can help, but generally speaking, if your heat pump is on but failing to heat your home it is recommended to have an HVAC crew come through to make sure your heat pump is working properly.
Generally speaking, your heat pump should come on, heat your home, and automatically shut off. If there are extremely cold temperatures it could cause your heat pump to stay running. But if your heat pump does not turn off there could be something wrong with your thermostat or other parts.
If your heat pump is making strange sounds like a rattle or screech it could be a sign that something is loose inside your heat pump or something is out of place. Similarly, if you notice a strange smell from your heat pump it could be a sign that there is mold somewhere inside your unit. Additionally, a burning smell from your heat pump could indicate that there are wiring or electrical problems.
