    Quality Heat Pump Repair and Replacement in Hillsborough

    Not only can an electric heat pump raise the temperature in your home in Hillsborough, it can cool it too. When compared to traditional heating systems—like a gas furnace—you’ll also likely have a lower electrical bill.

    Heat pumps accompany an air handler, which circulates air throughout your home. While an air handler might resemble a furnace, it doesn’t produce 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, contact Fras-Air/General Service Experts. We can repair any type 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 consume 10 to 25 percent more energy, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. It’s also more likely to malfunction or not last as long.

    When your HVAC system isn’t delivering the best home heating or isn’t working properly, try our troubleshooting list 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 made for heat pumps and wired correctly.
    • Insufficient heat. Filthy filters, fan and coils can reduce airflow and wreck your system. Swap your filter once a month, clean the unit’s coils and fan, and remove yard debris that may have accumulated 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 toasty as a forced air furnace. But if the air still seems too crisp, set the thermostat to emergency heat and at least 5 degrees above the room temperature. If you get warm air, there may be trouble with your outdoor unit. Cold air means there’s possibly an issue with your thermostat or air handler. Your system may have also gone into defrost mode to prevent icing 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 have too little refrigerant.
    • Heat pump turns on and off frequently. Change your air filter and then monitor your thermostat, because it may need to be reset or need new batteries. If it’s cold and your system is working continuously, 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 Fras-Air/General Service Experts. This could indicate a serious problem.

    Still having trouble with your heat pump? Fras-Air/General Service Experts can help. Once we have your heat pump working, consider joining a regular membership plan that may help you avoid pricey repairs afterward. Routine service may also add to your unit’s energy efficiency.

    Should I Repair or Replace My Heat Pump?

    When you’re faced with an expensive repair for your heat pump, it may be time to get a new one.

    Your unit may need to be replaced when it:

    • Isn’t providing even heating and cooling
    • Needs consistent repairs
    • Is increasing utility bills, even though you haven’t changed thermostat settings
    • Is more than 10 years old

    When it comes to heat pump replacement or heat pump installation, Fras-Air/General Service Experts can help you choose and install an energy-efficient model that’s right for your home. We can also help decide whether your air handler needs to be replaced too.

    You can count on a neat installation and an in-depth system check before we leave. This makes sure your new system is running properly and that you know how to use it.
