As the cold weather descends upon the majority of the country, making sure that the heating feature of your HVAC system is working properly is going to be an important thing. The last thing you want to do, especially in a state like Delaware, is to be without an effective and efficient source of heat for your home or business. While there are many different types of HVAC systems that produce heat, one of the most popular types are systems that work with a heat pump. If you are having problems with your Heat Pump In DE, there are a few things you can do before contacting a professional.
The first thing you want to do is ensure that the unit is working. The best way to do this is simply check the system by turning the system on and setting the temperature anywhere from 2 to 4 degrees below the current temperature. If the fan cuts on then you know the system has power. If the fan doesn’t, it could mean a catastrophic failure in the HVAC system or more than likely it means the system isn’t getting power. From there you want to check your fuse panel to ensure that the breakers are providing the proper power needed for the system.
The next thing you can do is turn your attention towards the outside unit of your Heat Pump In DE. While this may seem a bit odd, but if you notice a great deal of ice or frost on the refrigerant lines of your outside unit, this could be the main problem. This typically means that the defrost settings on the air compressor units aren’t working properly, more than likely because of low refrigerant. This will cause your heater to run very inefficiently and it may have a hard time warming up your home.
