Heat Pump Repair & Installation Services

HOW DO HEAT PUMPS WORK?

Heat pumps work through the transfer of heat. Through a series of water-filled pipes located within the ground, heat pumps provide heat to the home by transferring warm air from outside of the home to the inside. To cool the home, these pumps work in reverse, replacing warm air in the home with cooler air outside.

COMMON HEAT PUMP ISSUES & HOW TO FIX THEM

Like any HVAC system, as heat pumps age, the internal components can break down, requiring repair or replacement. To receive assistance with a heating and cooling repair problem near you, give our team a call by phone at (484) 321-8207 to book an appointment. Common heat pump issues to be aware of include:

BROKEN STARTER CAPACITOR

The starter capacitor turns on your heat pump system, allowing it to run. If, when you attempt to turn your heat pump on, you hear a faint clicking noise, there may be an issue with the starter capacitor.

MALFUNCTIONING REVERSING VALVE

The reversing valve allows your heat pump to switch between heating and cooling your home. If your heat pump is able to cool your home, but is unable to heat it, call a heating and cooling repair technician on our team to fix the reversing valve.

BROKEN COMPRESSOR CONTACTOR

The compressor contractor controls how much power goes to the heat pump. If this is broken, the heat pump may continually run, wasting energy and increasing your utility bills.

DIRTY AIR FILTER

Air filters catch dirt and debris before they make their way into our home’s air supply. Dirty air filters impede airflow and can cause heat pumps to work harder and push out less air. Be sure to check your filter often and clean or replace it when necessary.

If your heat pump is in need of repair, schedule a heating and cooling appointment with the team at WM Henderson. You can count on our team for expert repair and installation services!
