Watch Out for These Potential Heat Pump Problems

Heat pumps are one of the best options available for homeowners when it comes to taking care of their comfort. A heat pump does the job of both cooling and heating a home, and it does so at greater efficiency than the more conventional method of pairing an AC and a furnace. 

If you have a heat pump, all you have to do when the cold weather starts this year is adjust the thermostat to provide heat. Your heat pump will easily switch over to its heating mode, reversing the direction that it works so instead of moving heat out of your house, it will move heat into it. That’s it!

But a heat pump can malfunction, just like any other piece of equipment. We want you to be aware that you may need heat pump repair in Perry, GA at some point, so we’re going to look at several potential heat pump issues.
