A heat pump is a very effective HVAC system for homes in mild climates. Air-source heat pumps work to extract heat from the air and transport it to a different location. Each heat pump has three main components: a condenser unit, an indoor air handler unit, and refrigerant lines. Refrigerant is the magic substance that absorbs heat from the air and flows throughout your entire heat pump system.
Unfortunately, sometimes all it takes is one faulty component in your heat pump to render the whole system unable to do its job. Many issues cause it to not be able to extract an adequate amount of heat from the air. This means that your HVAC system will struggle to cool your home during the summer months or heat it in the winter. Only a professional HVAC technician will be able to make a fix, such as to recharge your system’s refrigerant level. They can also determine where a potential leak may be in your copper lines or the coils. In rare cases where you have a heat pump that utilizes an outdated form of refrigerant known as R-22, you’re better off investing in heat pump replacement service, since a modern system can save you money in the long run.
Another malfunction that your system may have is that it won’t run after switching modes. For example, let’s say that your heat pump works perfectly fine to cool your home. However, once we’re transitioning into fall, you will switch your heat pump over to heating mode. Unfortunately, it won’t kick on. The likely culprit behind this particular issue is a faulty reversing valve. This valve is responsible for changing the flow of refrigerant in your system. When it fails to do so, your system won’t work when switching between heating and cooling modes.
One other very frustrating issue you may experience is that your heat pump won’t turn on at all. If there’s no display on your thermostat, then it’s likely an issue with the thermostat. This could be dead batteries, tripped circuit breaker, loose wiring, or even a faulty thermostat. If the screen is working, listen for a clicking noise. If you hear the clicking and your heat pump fails to turn on, then you have a faulty starter capacitor.
