Your home’s heat pump system works hard for you all year. While it works as a furnace in the winter, its outdoor unit also allows the system to double as a central air conditioner in the summer. Unfortunately, because of the complexity of heat pumps, they tend to develop issues quickly. Like all HVAC systems, heat pumps can develop problems that require an HVAC professional. Several problems may indicate an issue with your heat pump, such as:
The average heat pump will need to switch on two to three times an hour (for about 15 minutes) to keep your home at your desired comfort level. However, when your heat pump needs to be repaired or replaced, it will begin to short cycle.
Short cycling is when your heat pump switches on several times an hour for just a few minutes at a time. Heat pumps that run in this manner will not work efficiently, use up dramatically more electricity than average, and will not keep your home at the desired temperature.
Here are several reasons your heat pump may be short-cycling:
The reversal valve is either energized or relaxed based on the amount of refrigerant therein, so a leak could mean it malfunctions and causes short cycling. Since only a certified technician can fix a reversing valve, replace a refrigerant line, or discern the refrigerant flow, they must be called for repairs. You may have refrigerant line issues if you ever notice frost on your outdoor unit. Most units have a defrost mode that will try to rid the unit of frost, though not every defrost cycle is effective. Contact a technician for more information about refrigerant line problems.
A heat pump that is struggling to maintain efficient operation will make more noise than a system operating normally. If your HVAC system makes abnormal sounds when it turns on, runs a heating or cooling cycle, or turns off, it should act as a red flag that you may need professional service.
A regular heat pump with no issues should make a few clicking sounds when the unit is starting up, which comes from the system’s thermostat communicating with other equipment. Otherwise, there should only be a gentle hum during a regular cycle and then another click as the system shuts off.
Here are a few abnormal sounds your heat pump may make, and why you should refer to a professional HVAC technician:
A consistently above-average utility bill could indicate that your heat pump is not functioning as efficiently as it once did. Your heat pump system can deteriorate over time, and certain parts may need replacement or repair. Equipment that has not been maintained may lack efficiency and begin work harder than average to heat or cool your home. Without repairing the heat pump, you will likely begin to pay more and more for your utility bills each season, all while airflow and efficiency decrease.
