Quality Heat Pump Service in Shreveport

Quality Heat Pump Repair and Replacement in Shreveport

Not only can an electric heat pump heat your home in Shreveport, it can cool it too. When weighed against standard heating systems—like a gas furnace—you’ll also likely have a decreased electrical bill.

Heat pumps accompany an air handler, which moves air throughout your home. While an air handler might have the appearance of a furnace, it doesn’t make heat through fuel combustion. However, some air handler models may have secondary electric heating or cooling parts to assist the heat pump.

Poor Maintenance Can Cost You
A poorly maintained system can cost you. On average, an ignored 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 break down or have a shorter life span.

When your HVAC system isn’t delivering the best home heating or isn’t working properly, try our troubleshooting guide below.

No heat. Check your thermostat is set 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 appropriate for heat pumps and wired accurately.

Insufficient heat. Filthy filters, fan and coils can lower airflow and damage your system. Change your filter once a month, clean the unit’s coils and fan, and clear yard debris that may have built up 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 room temperature. If you get warm air, there may be an issue 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 frosting up. 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. Replace your air filter and then look at 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 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, turn off your system and contact Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning. This could indicate a serious problem.
