Do heat pumps heat and cool?

Yes, heat pumps can heat and cool. They may have “heat” in the name, but they can be the preferred cooling system for many people in Northeastern Ohio over a central air conditioner.

Why isn’t my heat pump switching between heating and cooling?

Problems with the heat pump not switching between cooling and heating are a commonly experienced problem in the spring or fall. It usually points to a faulty reversing valve, thermostat, control board, or wiring. After you schedule a repair with us, you’ll know for certain what the problem was.

Why is my heat pump icing up?

If there’s ice on an outdoor unit, it’s not always a cause for concern; some frost is normal during cold weather, but excessive or persistent ice can point to low refrigerant, restricted airflow, or an outdoor fan problem.

How often should a heat pump be serviced?

A heat pump should receive maintenance twice a year, ideally in the spring and fall to prepare for the months of heavier heating and cooling use. But you can schedule HVAC maintenance anytime!

Why is the heat pump not heating?

There are many causes for a heat pump not heating, some of them being issues with the thermostat or electrical components. Our expert service professionals can always get to the bottom of a heat pump repair!

Should I repair or replace the heat pump?

Great question! Deciding whether to repair or replace a heat pump can be difficult, but it ultimately comes down to the system’s age and condition. A well-maintained heat pump typically lasts about 12 to 15 years in the Bay Village area.

Why is my heat pump not cooling?

A heat pump that isn’t cooling definitely needs repair! Common causes span from refrigerant issues to a clogged air filter, but contacting us for an inspection and repair is the only way to know for sure.

Is Your Bay Village Heat Pump Not Working?

Is your heat pump not heating, covered in ice, or running constantly? Anyone in Avon, Avon Lake, Rocky River, Sheffield Lake, Westlake, or Bay Village can come to us for air-source heat pump repairs, as well as geothermal heat pump repairs. We also install and replace heat pumps!

Northeastern Ohio heat pumps see the most action in colder winter months, which isn’t surprising when you think about January’s below-freezing temperatures compared to our mild summers. Thanks a lot, Lake Erie!

What does that mean for your heat pump? Heat pump repair demand jumps, especially for after-hours repairs when outdoor units freeze in a cold snap. You can minimize breakdowns by keeping the unit clear of snow and scheduling HVAC maintenance before a stretch of freezing temperatures.
Air-source heat pumps can certainly have problems in warmer temperatures. Higher humidity levels can cause problems, as can Bay Village’s periodic heat waves. A whole-home dehumidifier can alleviate some of that strain by reducing the heat pump's workload and moisture burden.

Drier indoor air feels cooler, so you’re more inclined to set the thermostat lower and run the heat pump less
Shoulder seasons in the Bay Village area are ideal for using a heat pump to transition from heating to cooling, or vice versa. Just like a heat pump, our repairs follow you from a pleasant April morning exploring BAYarts to a chilly evening at home.

Common Bay Village heat pump problems in fall and spring:
- Heat pumps running constantly
- Not switching heating or cooling modes
- Heat pumps making strange noises
Heat pumps not defrosting

Lake Erie and Heat Pumps

Lake Erie’s added moisture adds to the need for wintertime heat pump repairs, due to frost, freezing rain, and snow freezing outdoor coils and components. Having a Great Lake so close by isn’t great for our HVAC systems; that’s for sure.

Salty air can also erode systems for the Sheffield Lake, Avon Lake, and Bay Village coastal neighborhoods. While boating and swimming in the lake are fun, it’s important to keep Lake Erie in mind when caring for every part of our HVAC systems, including heat pumps. Knowing what to watch for and having local HVAC professionals to call for an emergency heat pump repair makes all the difference.
