Heat Pump Repair

Heat pumps are a popular choice within the Raleigh, Durham, and surrounding areas. Given the efficiency, many homes and business are being cooled and heated by a heat pump HVAC system. While most heat pumps do run efficient without any issues, repairs may be needed occasionally.

AirMakers Heating & Cooling can repair any heat pump make or model that you have for your home or business. Many homeowners experience the joy of lower energy bills with a heat pump installation, but when your energy bill starts to get a little higher, you may want to give AirMakers a call just to ensure that everything is okay with your heat pump.

How Can You Tell if Your Heat Pump is Going Out?

Here at AirMakers, we get this a lot. Raleigh residents want to know what to look for when a heat pump is going awry. First, if you have a feeling something is off, typically it’s right. It’s best to call AirMakers and have us check it out. However, there are some signs that you may be seeing, smelling, or even hearing.

  • Your heat pump isn't turning on or off
  • Your heat pump is not providing heat or cool air
  • You can start smelling an odd smell
  • You can see some water leaks around your heat pump or the air handling unit
  • You start to have cooler or warmer rooms than a consistent airflow and comfortable temperature throughout your home

No matter which one of the symptoms you may be experiencing with your heat pump or even multiple, give AirMakers a call. Also, we’ll be happy to take a look at your heat pump and assess the situation. AirMakers even provides free second opinions. We understand the concern that people have when something isn’t quite right with their HVAC unit. Just give us a call, and we’ll take care of the rest.

What Should I Check Before I Call AirMakers About My Heat Pump Repair?

First and foremost, you don’t have to check or do anything to give AirMakers a call. We’re happy to come out to check everything for you. However, should you want to do a quick look yourself, you can try these few items:
Start with the Thermostat:
Your thermostat is programed to have a bit of delay between heating and cooling cycles and vice versa. Typically, this delay mode will last about five minutes or so. This ensures that your heat pump has time to cycle down the heating or cooling and restart the new cycle. So, give it a little time to adjust to see if it’s working. If nothing is happening or it still isn’t functioning properly, give AirMakers a call.
Replace Air Filters:
While this may seem somewhat trivial, air filters play a big role in your HVAC system. Go ahead and just check them to make sure that they are free from debris and that may be on your filters like dust, etc. If you haven’t changed them in a while, change them and see if that makes a difference. Failing to change your air filters regularly, can cause issues with proper air flow and cause more refrigerant pressure, excessive wear, etc. Plus, it causes your unit to use more energy in general.
Check Your Breaker Box:
So, if you’re trying to heat your home, you may want to check your breaker just to make sure that it didn’t trip. While typically, this isn’t an issue. However, if it does get cold outside, heat pumps use heat elements to produce warm airflow in “emergency heat” mode. This can take a lot of energy when it gets colder outside.
Turn on Your Emergency Heat Function:

If you haven’t done so already, try your emergency heat function and see if it’s working properly. Lastly, the thermostat should read something like “emergency heat” or “auxiliary heat”. Check to see if it’s working.

What Should I Do if My Heat Pump Needs Replacing?

At AirMakers, we understand that not emergency is planned for, and yes in some cases it may be best to get a new unit installed. Furthermore, our HVAC professionals will meet with you and discuss the best option for your family and household. AirMakers works closely with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and we work to provide you any discounts and promotions that they may be running. Plus, we work with Synchrony in case you need financing. Also, we can submit for any rebates to Duke Energy that you may qualify for on a new unit or perhaps a repair like sealed ductwork.

AirMakers will make sure that you understand the true cost of everything up-front, which includes labor and parts. We’ll also make sure that you understand the warranty options with any repair or new heat pump that you install. However, we will do everything we can to help get you comfortable quickly in a cost-efficient manner. We promise no gimmicks, but we will give you reliable comfort quickly.
