You may occasionally have to go to the circuit breaker panel in your home to reset a tripped breaker. Some appliances can create power surges that trip breakers, although this should never be something that happens regularly. 

Because your AC is one of the most powerful electrical appliances in your home (often the most powerful), it might trip the power breaker if it’s pushed for too long. However, if the AC is tripping the circuit breaker repeatedly, then it means something more serious is wrong. You may need to schedule air conditioning repair in Forsyth, GA. Below, we’ll look into why this might happen.

July 8th, 2024

Making the change from using a standard central air conditioning system to a heat pump isn’t difficult. Heat pumps operate in a similar way to air conditioners and contain most of the same components to do the job. It’s not difficult for installers to remove a standard AC and put a heat pump in its place. Externally, they look similar, so most non-experts can’t tell them apart.

Of course, they do have differences, because the heat pump can do what the AC cannot—work in heating mode as well as cooling mode. Because we have extensive experience with heat pump installation and heat pump repair in Glenwood, GA, we know all about the components of a heat pump that allow it to do these two jobs. We’re going to list the most important of these parts below to help you get a better sense of what your heat pump does—or what you’ll want from the heat pump you’re planning to install.
