A versatile heating and cooling system in one, the heat pump is what we recommend to so many of our customers looking for heating and air conditioning. It’s highly efficient and can keep you warm throughout the winter, but that doesn’t make it immune to problems.
Heat pumps can suffer from a number of problems in the summer, when it works as an air conditioner, or in the winter, when it works as a heater. Today, we want to focus on problems that tend to occur in the winter—some of which may surprise you!
Air filtration is a more important part of your air conditioner than you may think. Without an air filter in place, particulate in the air can pummel the AC unit and get caught in the blower. When the filter gets too dirty, it can block air from moving into the AC system. That’s why it’s important to change your air filter every month or so.
Have you ever had to call a technician in for AC service in the middle of summer? If so, you know it’s not something you want to deal with any time in the near future. You have to pause what you are doing to make an appointment with a technician or call in for emergency service. You may have to skip out on plans while you wait, and your home is too hot for comfort in the meantime.
