Your Heat Pump’s Life Expectancy: What You Need to Know
Monday, February 17th, 2025Is That Smoke Coming From My Heat Pump? (Probably Not)
Monday, January 6th, 2025HVAC contractors sometimes get frantic calls during the colder months from homeowners who think their heat pump is on fire. If you’ve recently noticed what looks like smoke coming from your heat pump, don’t worry — it’s most likely not smoke at all.
We’ll explain why your heat pump might appear to be “smoking” and why it’s actually a sign that it’s working properly and not in need of an emergency heat pump repair in Conyers, GA.
Why Your Heat Pump Won’t Change to Heating Mode
Monday, November 11th, 2024Cool weather means it’s time to shift your heat pump into heating mode. The ease with which you can change a heat pump from one mode to another is one of the biggest advantages of having a heat pump in the first place.
Still, what if your heat pump won’t turn to heating mode? It does happen, and our team has worked with many heat pumps, so we’re familiar with how this problem can occur. We’ve put together this guide to help you understand what’s going on and if you need heat pump repair in Glenwood, GA.
How Do Heat Pumps Get Heat From Outdoors in the Winter?
Monday, October 14th, 2024The miracle of the heat pump is that it works as both a heating and cooling system. It’s not really a “miracle,” but based on the simple principle that if you take an air conditioner and find a way to reverse the way it moves heat, it can provide either heating or cooling. An air conditioner uses refrigerant to draw heat from inside the house and releases it outside, cooling down the interior of the house. A heat pump goes a step further: it can change the direction the refrigerant flows so that it draws heat from outside the house and releases it inside, warming up the house.
Why Is My Heat Pump Stuck in One Mode?
Monday, October 14th, 2024Heat pumps offer many great advantages to homes. But the best advantage of all is the simple convenience of being able to change a heat pump from cooling mode to heat mode (and back) with a simple adjustment to the thermostat.
The weather is cooling down now, and you’ll soon shift your heat pump over to heating mode for the next several months. Usually, this won’t be a problem. But heat pumps, even with the best regular maintenance, can’t work completely free from malfunctions. You may discover that your heat pump won’t switch over to heating mode, and you’re either getting cool or room-temperature air coming from the vents. What’s happening, and is this something that requires calling our professionals for heat pump repair in Aberdeen, KY?
We’ll look at why you may have a stuck heat pump in more detail below.
Watch Out for These Potential Heat Pump Problems
Monday, September 16th, 2024Heat 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.
What Parts Make a Heat Pump Different From an AC?
Monday, July 8th, 2024Making 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.
