heat pump repair in Chester, PA<\/a>, we always look at one little component that controls the state of your heat pump by helping it switch modes. But there\u2019s also a chance that the problem is completely separate from that little component as well. Let\u2019s explain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYour Air Filter is Likely Dirty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Your air filter doesn\u2019t just help pull debris and dust out of the air for your indoor air quality sake. That\u2019s surely a benefit, but it\u2019s not the primary reason. It\u2019s actually there to prevent all that dust from getting into your heat pump. See, your heat pump has refrigerant in it since it also operates like an air conditioner, and that\u2019s kept in a closed loop on the condenser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The condenser relies on the warm air coming in even during a cycle where it\u2019s trying to cool the air in your house. It helps change the state of refrigerant in that closed loop, but if it\u2019s coated in a layer of dust, it can build up to the point that it doesn\u2019t allow for that temperature transfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or it\u2019s just not getting enough air in the first place because that filter is so dirty. Do yourself a favor: replace it, and set alarms on your phone for the 1st of every month to check and likely change your heat pump\u2019s air filter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your Thermostat May Be Reading the Room Incorrectly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Your heat pump may be completely fine, but instead, it could be your thermostat that\u2019s getting it in trouble and making it look like the heat pump is broken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your thermostat reads the temperature of the room; not your heat pump. When it reads the temp, it sends an \u201cON\u201d or \u201cOFF\u201d signal to the heat pump as needed to get your actual room temperature closer to the target room temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But if it\u2019s reading the air temperature incorrectly in the first place, it won\u2019t send signals when it\u2019s supposed to. Recalibrating your thermostat is usually enough to fix the problem. You can use the manual that came with your thermostat, or a PDF manual from the manufacturer\u2019s website. Either one should be fine to calibrate your thermostat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Damaged Solenoid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In your heat pump, there\u2019s a small component called a solenoid that\u2019s responsible for the mechanical shift from one mode to another. It works whether it\u2019s switching from heating to cooling, or vice versa. If it gets stuck, dirty, or just stops working, that could be the culprit. This isn\u2019t a DIY-friendly task, so we can get our technicians out to you to fix this if those other two options don\u2019t work according to plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your Heat Pump Fix is Waiting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s time to get that heat pump fixed before you really need to switch over to that other mode. We can handle this for you as well as any other heat pump-related problem that pops up. All you have to do is give us a call and we\u2019ll handle the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
