What’s a Heat Pump?

A heat pump is a type of heating and cooling unit that regulates indoor temperature in both warm and cold weather. Using a refrigerant, it extracts heat from your home in the summer and pumps it outdoors. In winter, this process is reversed – with the heat pump collecting and concentrating heat from the ground or air and delivering it through your ductwork. Even on a wintry day, there is heat to be captured from outside!

Heat pumps are traditionally associated with hot, southern states. However, heat pumps in the coldest parts of the U.S. are increasing in popularity, and are sometimes used in tandem with a furnace that may be used as a backup. This 1-2 punch allows homeowners to have total control of their HVAC system. Pair a heat pump with a programmable thermostat for next-level control.

Heat Pump vs. Furnace: What’s the Difference?

During the cold months, a furnace—electric or gas—heats up your home through a heating cycle. Forced air passes through a gas-fired or electric burner and is distributed throughout the home. Heat pumps harness renewable energy from the air or ground, concentrate the heat energy in a heat exchanger, and distribute it through the home.

In the summer, a furnace sits idle while homeowners rely on a separate air conditioner unit. Heat pump owners reverse the setting on their heat pumps to cool their homes, eliminating the need for a separate A/C appliance.

Additionally, by removing hot, muggy air from your home in the summer, heat pumps assist with humidity control, reducing your need for dehumidifiers.

How to Know When Your Heat Pump Needs Repair

Is your heat pump showing signs of trouble? We’ve done some troubleshooting for you. Below, we’ve listed the top 4 reasons your heat pump isn’t working:



No Power

If the fan doesn’t respond to raising the thermostat’s temperature, a breaker may have tripped, the wiring could be loose, or the heat pump switch might be turned off. 



Short Cycles

If you notice that your heat is switching on and off frequently, then your heat pump is not working as it should.



Reduced Heating

Your heat pump could be releasing significant airflow but a low amount of heat. Reduced heat could be due to the compressor or a refrigerant leak.



Strange or Loud Noises

Don’t ignore the noise or shrug it off by thinking that it’s insignificant. Excessive sounds such as groaning or rattling might be a sign that your heat pump is in need of repair.

Avoid Breakdowns by Being Proactive

It doesn’t inconvenience us in the slightest to come to your home for an emergency furnace repair. However, most furnace breakdowns, inefficiencies, and other problems can be avoided long before they require such urgent action. How can you prevent furnace breakdowns and other problems? You may be wondering. The answer is simple and unequivocal: seasonal maintenance performed by a professional is something every homeowner should take advantage of every year.

Having a technician perform preventative maintenance on your furnace prior to winter will ensure that you get the most out of your home heating system, enhancing its performance while prolonging its lifespan. Furthermore, it will enable our technicians to identify minor issues before they evolve or snowball into more expensive problems that turn into major inconveniences. Lastly, it’s possible that your manufacturer warranty requires regular maintenance to stay in good standing.

No Matter the brand, we can fix it.

Heat Pump FAQ

— We’re Here to Help

Why would I need to repair a heat pump?
  • Leakages — Ignoring a leaking heat pump can lead to water damage, mold infestations, and electrical issues. This could lead to more expensive repairs.
  • Drain Problems — A clogged drain pan could overflow and create a puddle around your pump. If the drain line is clogged, this could cause a water overflow which leads to leaks. 
  • Frozen Evaporator Coils — Low levels of refrigerant can lead to ice forming on the cooling coils. This prevents the effective performance of the unit.
  • Cracked Overflow Pan — Over time, the overflow pan may begin to corrode which can lead to cracks, resulting in an overflow or leak. 
How is the efficiency of heating equipment measured?

The S.E.E.R. (seasonal energy efficiency ratio) is the amount of cooling your system will deliver per dollar spent on electricity. For example, a 3-ton unit may have a S.E.E.R. efficiency rating of 13, 14, or 15. The higher the S.E.E.R., the more efficient the system will be. The S.E.E.R. rating of any given unit can range anywhere from 13 to 17.

What's the best way to extend the life of my unit?

Reducing usage is always helpful, so turn the thermostat up or down, as needed, to reduce usage when you’re not at home. Changing air filters will prevent clogs. Regular check-ups can also help you ward off any potential trouble spots. Maintenance also keeps your warranty in good standing and is often recommended by manufacturers.

What does a heat pump look like? Do I already have one?

It’s actually difficult to distinguish between air conditioners and heat pumps – they look exactly the same!

Short of asking a technician, you can search by model number online. You can also look at your thermostat and see if your thermostat has an “emergency heat’ setting. Although there are a few more ways to tell if you have a heat pump, these are the simplest.
