Heat Pump Repair in Charlottesville
There are various problems that can occur with heat pumps, especially if you don’t maintain them regularly.
Common problems you may experience can include:
- Strange odors
- Refrigerant leaks
- Thermostat issues
- No hot or cold air
- Constantly running
At Air Nerds, when we perform heat pump repair services, we conduct an initial assessment of the pump. We’ll check for visual signs of damage and excess wear and tear.
Using special tools, our technicians will pinpoint the cause of the malfunction and diagnose the problem. During this diagnosis, we will check refrigerant levels, test the thermostat, and inspect all electrical components.
Once our technicians figure out the source of the problem, they will make the necessary repairs. That could include new parts, but sometimes it just requires existing parts to be adjusted, tightened, or cleaned. Then we’ll test the system again to ensure the pump and all its components are functioning. We’ll follow up with you to ensure the heat pump keeps working after our visit.
Knowing when to call an HVAC technician can help prevent major malfunctions and save money. There are different situations when you shouldn’t wait to call an HVAC technician. For example, complete system failure occurs when the pump stops working altogether. This means none of the system’s features are working. You’ll need an HVAC technician to determine the cause of the system failure and make the necessary repairs to prevent further damage.
If you continue to experience one or multiple problems after troubleshooting, an HVAC professional will need to come and assess the situation. Neglecting to address any problems can lead to more expensive repair costs.
Annual maintenance and inspections are essential for keeping the pump functioning correctly. These annual checks can help identify current and potential problems before they become major issues. Schedule your annual maintenance and inspection for your heat pump with Air Nerds to keep the pump in good shape. It might even lower your energy bills by making your pump more efficient.
Extreme weather conditions can cause the pump to malfunction, too, which is more than a minor inconvenience. During a heatwave or freezing temperatures, a pump may not work as well, making your home uncomfortable. Contact Air Nerds for immediate assistance for heat pump repairs.
