Signs Your Heat Pump Needs Repairs
You may be unsure what kinds of problems warrant a service call from a professional heating and cooling technician, especially if this is your first experience with a heat pump. These are signs you should schedule service with Precision Air right away:
- Strange noises: If your heat pump’s regular hum is morphing into a screech or rattle, call for service.
- Foul smells: Whether the smell is musty, burning, or rotting, a technician should look at your heat pump to determine and correct the issue.
- Won’t stop running: This can indicate an issue with the thermostat, the compressor, or another problem.
- Won’t heat and/or cool: Whether you’re trying to cool or heat your home, these malfunctions need prompt attention.
- Won’t turn on: A heat pump’s ability to start can be affected by several issues, from a broken valve to the starter capacitor.
Heat Pump Repair vs. Replacement
When faced with a substantial repair need, it’s sometimes more cost-effective to replace the entire system. Keep these factors in mind when deliberating between repair and replacement:
- Cost of repairs: If the cost of repair is low compared to the cost of a new heat pump, repairs may make more sense. If repair costs are 50% or more of the price of a new unit, replacement may be wise.
- Frequency of repairs: How often is your unit needing repairs? If this issue isn’t likely to recur often or at all, repairs are more practical.
- Heat pump age: Once your heat pump gets to be 15 years old, it’s worth considering investing repair costs into a new unit that has many more years to give.
- Warranty status: If your system is still under warranty, repairing it is likely a better option.
