Quality Heat Pump Service in Sharonville

Quality Heat Pump Repair and Replacement in Sharonville

Not only can an electric heat pump heat your home in Sharonville, it can cool it too. When compared to conventional heating systems—like a gas furnace—you’ll also likely have a reduced energy bill.

Heat pumps work with an air handler, which moves air throughout your home. While an air handler might have the appearance of a furnace, it doesn’t make heat through fuel combustion. However, some air handler models may have secondary electric heating or cooling parts to back up the heat pump.

When you need heat pump service or heat pump repair, call Knochelmann Service Experts. We can service any model of heat pump. Our technicians are NATE-certified, which means they are among the finest in the HVAC industry when it comes to heating and cooling.

And like all our other work, our services for heat pump systems are backed by a one-year 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.*

Poor Maintenance Can Cost You
A badly maintained system can cost you. On average, a neglected heat pump can guzzle 10 to 25 percent more energy, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. It’s also more likely to stop working or have a shorter life span.

When your HVAC system isn’t providing the best home heating or isn’t working correctly, try our troubleshooting guide below.

No heat. Check your thermostat is set to “on” and “heat.” Next, make sure a circuit breaker hasn’t tripped. Recently installed a new thermostat? Make sure it’s a model compatible with heat pumps and wired correctly.

Insufficient heat. Filthy filters, fan and coils can reduce airflow and harm your system. Put in a new filter once a month, clean the unit’s coils and fan, and clear yard debris that may have built up around it. Your system may also have blocked air ducts, faulty valves or poor refrigeration flow.

Cold air instead of heat. Air from a heat pump won’t be as hot as a forced air furnace. But if the air still seems too cold, set the thermostat to emergency heat and at least 5 degrees above the ambient temperature. If you get warm air, there may be trouble with your outdoor unit. Cold air means there’s likely an issue with your thermostat or air handler. Your system may have also gone into defrost mode to stop it from freezing. If you see frost or ice on the outdoor coil, your unit may have a defective defroster timer or control module, or it could be low on refrigerant.

Heat pump turns on and off frequently. Replace your air filter and then look at your thermostat, because it may need to be adjusted or need new batteries. If it’s cold and your system is running constantly, the thermostat may be set too high. Also, some heat pumps have trouble heating around 25 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit.

Rattling, grinding or squealing noises. If you hear rattling, try tightening the cover panels. If you hear grinding or squealing, turn off your system and contact Knochelmann Service Experts. This could indicate a serious problem.
