As the temperature heats up in North Myrtle Beach, a heat pump can make life easier. How can you tell if your heat pump isn’t working properly? It is possible that your heat pump isn’t cooling as efficiently as it once did. Like all appliances, the HVAC system is not meant to last forever. It can, however, be maintained and provide many benefits. It all depends on how often you use it and the climate. Regular maintenance will make your heat pump last longer than one that’s not.
Even the best heat pump maintenance can lead to problems. These are signs that your heat pump needs to be replaced. These signs should be notified to an HVAC contractor right away to see if the system can be repaired, or if it is time to start looking for a replacement.
There are signs that your heat pump might need to be replaced
Unit not producing hot or cold air, consistent with temperature settings
Many homeowners are faced with heat pumps that don’t heat and cool. It may still produce regular air levels but the air it is releasing isn’t as hot or as cold as it is set to. The unit could be emitting cool air, despite being set to warm temperatures. Or it might not be producing warm air on cool settings. This could also occur in the opposite direction. This could mean that refrigerant levels are dropping or that the compressor is damaged. North Myrtle Beach HVAC contractors can help you diagnose the problem and offer solutions.
Diminished Air Flow
Another problem could be the complete absence of cool air coming out of the vents. A decrease in airflow could be a sign that your compressor has failed. Your heat pump system could be failing if your thermostat is set to a certain temperature but your home remains warm. Your heat pump system may need to be replaced, or your air filters may be failing.
Unique Sounds and Smells
Fully functioning heat pumps should operate silently. When your heat pump cycles, you will hear a clicking sound. This is normal. You should inspect your unit if you hear a different sound from what you are used to hearing. It could indicate that your HVAC unit is in need of repair or replacement. It is possible to smell an unusual odor. Foul smells can indicate damage to your heat pump insulation or mold growth in the ductwork.
The production or leakage of excessive moisture
A little water drop is normal. It is normal for your heat pump to drip if it is not being used. If you notice any moisture buildup or sudden rises in condensation, it is time to replace the heat pump.
