Heat Pumps Repair in Rochester Michigan - Serving Metro Detroit Area

If your heat pump isn’t providing heat or cool air:

• Check the Thermostat Settings: Ensure it’s set to the right mode (heating or cooling) and temperature.
• Inspect the Air Filter: A clogged filter can restrict airflow and affect performance.
• Verify the Power Supply: Ensure the heat pump is properly connected to the power source and check for tripped circuit breakers.

If these steps don’t resolve the issue, contact a technician for further diagnostics and repair.

It’s not advisable to continue using a malfunctioning heat pump, as doing so can lead to:

• Further Damage: A small issue can escalate into a larger, more expensive problem if not addressed.
• Inefficiency: The system may struggle to maintain the desired temperature, leading to higher energy bills.
• Complete Breakdown: Running the system when it’s not functioning properly can cause a full system failure, requiring more extensive repairs or replacement.

It’s best to call for repair service as soon as you notice issues to prevent further complications.

Frequent cycling, also known as short cycling, can be caused by:

• Dirty Air Filters: Clogged filters restrict airflow and cause the system to overheat.
• Thermostat Issues: A malfunctioning or improperly calibrated thermostat can cause incorrect readings and erratic cycling.
• Low Refrigerant: Insufficient refrigerant can make the heat pump overheat and shut off prematurely.
• Electrical Problems: Faulty wiring or connections can cause intermittent operation.

Our technicians can inspect and repair your system to restore normal cycling and efficiency.

While simple tasks, such as changing filters or checking the thermostat settings, can be done by homeowners, most heat pump repairs should be handled by a professional.

• Safety Risks: Heat pumps operate under high voltage, and improper repairs can lead to electrical hazards.
• Warranty Concerns: DIY repairs may void your warranty.
• Complexity: Heat pumps involve complicated components like refrigerant lines and compressors that require specialized knowledge and tools.

It’s always best to leave repairs to a trained technician to ensure the job is done correctly and safely.

The cost of repairing a heat pump depends on:

• The nature of the problem: Simple fixes (like replacing a capacitor or cleaning coils) are usually less expensive than major repairs (like fixing refrigerant leaks or replacing the compressor).
• The age of the system: Older units may require more expensive parts or labor.
• Labor costs: Prices may vary based on location and the technician’s hourly rate.

Our technicians will provide a detailed estimate before starting the repair, so you know what to expect.
