Heat pumps are very efficient, because they do not use fuel to create heat. They work on the principle of transferring air. This feature of a heat pump makes them environmentally friendly and suitable for homes in a climate that doesn’t have extreme temperatures or extreme temperature swings. However efficient they may be, there are common problems with heat pumps.
The dual purpose of a heat pump is to cool and heat when the season calls for either. This, of course, creates air flow which can decrease to the point of failing to cool or heat. Heat pumps can leak air and cause noisy air ducts, temperature issues, squeaks, rattles and other obtrusive noises. One aspect of the heat pump problems is identifying where they originate. Any noise could be coming from the air ducts or from the heat pump. The air flow may be coming out of just one register instead of every register, or the air flow may be low in some air ducts and not others. Isolating this problem is a task for heat pump repair Riverside CA technicians.
A heat pump has another advantage because it is the only unit installed to do the work of cooling and heating. The heat pump repair is easier when the parts that may cause trouble are located in one place, or one box. Heat pumps are constructed much like the air conditioning units which have a condenser system in the air conditioning unit which is outside of the home. Condensers in heat pumps and air conditioners can become obstructed with dirt and other debris. The cost to repair a heat pump from the condenser side should be one of the less expensive repairs.
