How Heat Pumps Work

A heat pump is a versatile system that provides heating and cooling by transferring heat rather than generating it. In winter, it extracts heat from the outside air and transfers it indoors using a refrigerant that absorbs heat as it evaporates and releases it as it condenses. During summer, the process reverses, with the heat pump removing heat from indoor air and transferring it outside, similar to an air conditioner. The reversing valve is the crucial component that allows this system to switch between heating and cooling modes as needed.


Common Heat Pump Issues

When you can figure out the problems with the heat pumps, you will understand when repair services are needed. Some issues are as follows:

  • Inconsistent Temperature: If you notice uneven heating or cooling in different rooms, your heat pump might be struggling with airflow issues or have a problem with the thermostat.
  • Strange Noises: Unusual sounds, such as grinding, squealing, or banging, can indicate mechanical issues with the fan, compressor, or other components.
  • Frequent Cycling: If your heat pump turns on and off frequently, it may be overworking due to a malfunctioning thermostat or a refrigerant leak.
  • Poor Airflow: Reduced airflow can result from clogged filters, ductwork issues, or problems with the blower fan.
  • High Energy Bills: A sudden increase in energy bills can signal that your heat pump is less efficient due to underlying issues.
