What Is a Heat Pump?

A heat pump is a mechanical-compression cycle refrigeration system that can be reversed to serve either heating or cooling functions. Put simply, a heat pump is just one of many heating systems you can use in your home to keep you warm. Heat pumps transport warm air from one place to another, and when it’s not needed, away from your home.

Heat pumps move heat instead of generating it, making it a more efficient system than some other common heating appliances. Heat pumps are powered by electricity so you don’t have to worry about your fuel consumption. Heat pumps are a great option for people who live in moderate climates especially since they serve the dual purpose of heating and cooling. It differs from a furnace in that a heat pump uses electricity to move heat while a furnace burns fuel to create it.

Do You Need Heat Pump Repair?

After you’ve used your heat pump for some time, your heat pump may need to be serviced or repaired. Here are some signs you need heat pump repair:

• You notice ice developing along your evaporator or condenser coil. This could be a sign of a refrigerant leak or dusty coils.
• You hear clicking or grinding noises coming from the heat pump cabinet. Clicking noises usually indicate capacitor issues while grinding noises may be a sign that moving parts need lubrication.
• Your heat pump is stuck in either heating or cooling mode and won’t switch over.
