Quality Heat Pump Service in London

Quality Heat Pump Repair and Replacement in London

Not only can an electric heat pump raise the temperature in your home in London, it can cool it too. When weighed against traditional heating systems—like a gas furnace—you’ll also likely have a lower 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 create 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, turn to Roy Inch & Sons Home Services by Enercare. We can service any model of heat pump. Our technicians are TSSA-certified, which means they are among the finest in the HVAC industry when it comes to heating and cooling.

Poor Maintenance Can Cost You
A badly maintained system can cost you. On average, an uncared-for heat pump can eat up 10 to 25 percent more energy, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. It’s also more likely to stop working or not last as long.

When your HVAC system isn’t giving 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 replaced your thermostat? Make sure it’s a model compatible with heat pumps and wired properly.

Insufficient heat. Filthy filters, fan and coils can reduce airflow and wreck your system. Put in a new filter once a month, clean the unit’s coils and fan, and get rid of yard debris that may have gathered 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 warm as a forced air furnace. But if the air still seems too chilly, set the thermostat to emergency heat and at least 5 degrees above the inside temperature. If you get warm air, there may be a problem 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 prevent frosting up. If you see frost or ice on the outdoor coil, your unit may have a defective defroster timer or control module, or it could need refrigerant.

Heat pump turns on and off frequently. Replace your air filter and then look at your thermostat, because it may need to be reset or need new batteries. If it’s cold and your system is on all the time, 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, stop using your system and call Roy Inch & Sons Home Services by Enercare. This could suggest a serious problem.
