Any HVAC Or Plumbing Repair
There are multiple reasons heat pumps in Raleigh, NC, may need repairs. You may need heat pump repair if you notice inconsistent heat throughout your home or other indications of a malfunction. In some cases, a heat pump replacement may be in order. Even if your current heating system is working properly, upgrading to a more efficient model can save on costs and potentially increase your home’s value.
Heat pumps can be an effective way to heat your home. The outdoor unit pulls air from outside, warms it and circulates it through your ductwork and vents. Using your thermostat, you can control the temperature and other settings. There are some clear benefits of these air-source pumps over furnaces. They’re versatile to install and use electricity instead of fuel for efficiency and convenience.
You may not think much about your heating system until a problem occurs. Whether you need a heat pump repair or an entire heat pump replacement should be determined by a licensed technician. In some cases, a quick fix is all that’s required. Other issues may require a full replacement.
Short cycling is when your system turns on and off repeatedly. This is a clear sign that there’s something wrong and professional help is likely required. If you hear odd noises coming from your unit or ductwork, it’s also a signal that your heat pump needs to be repaired or replaced.
Sometimes you’ll clearly see frost building on the outdoor unit or leaks coming from the line. These are two other reasons why a repair or new heating system may be a wise choice. It’s important to address these and any other malfunctions early. What starts as a small problem can get out of hand quickly.
Plus, North Carolina winters can be frigid. Heat is a necessity for you and your family’s well-being, so it’s important to get your heat pump back in good working order fast. A heating specialist can diagnose the problem with your heat pump and advise you on the best option.
There are multiple types of pumps from which to choose when replacing your heating system. You might upgrade to a water-source or geothermal heat pump instead of an air-source unit. Each of these systems have their own specific advantages. Ductless mini-split heating systems are another option. They’re minimally invasive to install, require no ductwork and are energy efficient. Your heat pump expert can help you choose the unit type that’s best for your home.
Typically the most common heat pump to install, air-to-air heat pumps absorb heat directly from the outside air and move it inside to heat your home. Air-source heat pumps can be installed into ductless or ducted systems and are more fuel-efficient than a furnace, as they lack any combustible components by using electricity to power them.
Ground-source heat pump installations require natural heat from the earth to warm or cool your home. Piping is laid under your home that is then filled with water, which is circulated by the heat pump. The water is then heated in the winter (or cooled in the summer) by the earth under your home, which stays at 50 degrees year-round. The warmed or cooled water is circulated to the surface of your heat pump, which in turn heats the air and is blown into your home.
Water-to-air systems require access to a well, or other body of water nearby, in order to work. They function similarly to air-source heat pumps, with the exception that it uses a pipe system surrounded by water to extract and dissipate heat rather than through the air.
