How often should I have my heat pump serviced?

Our rule of thumb for preventive maintenance is twice per year for HVAC equipment. If your heat pump is your primary source of heating and cooling throughout the year, both of those tune-ups can be on the same system to check functionality for each season.

Why does my heat pump seem to be running more when it’s cold outside?

Longer run times are normal for a heat pump during cold weather, because the system has to work harder to maintain the indoor temperature. If you notice how long it is running but your home isn’t warming up, that’s when there might be a problem for our Nashua HVAC repair team.

My heat pump doesn’t seem to be switching from heating to cooling. Why is that?

Something called the reversing valve is responsible for changing the direction of the refrigeration cycle in your heat pump, which switches it between heating and cooling. If this valve is malfunctioning, that might explain why the switch isn’t happening. Book an appointment with our team to investigate this problem and repair it!

Can snow damage my outdoor heat pump equipment?

Snow itself isn’t damaging, but remember all outdoor units need to breathe. Heavy snowpack can restrict airflow enough to impact performance. Falling ice from a rooftop can physically damage the equipment, so just keep an eye on it throughout the winter.

Are heat pump repairs different from furnace or boiler repairs?

There is some overlap with general HVAC services, but heat pumps have components that aren’t found in furnaces or boilers . An experienced heat pump repair professional can diagnose the specific problems in that equipment.

It’s important not to wait for a breakdown if your system has started behaving differently. Contact us if you notice any of these warning signs:

The system running constantly
Uneven temperatures, or you find new hot or cold spots
Trouble switching between heating and cooling
Grinding, rattling, buzzing, or any other strange noises
Energy bill spikes that can’t be tied to usage
Short cycling

These symptoms don’t necessarily mean a breakdown is on its way, or that your system needs to be replaced. A diagnosis from our heat pump service team will let you know if it’s a simple part replacement or a sign that your equipment is nearing the end of its useful life.

Worn fan motors, failing capacitors, electrical problems, and more, can be evaluated by the experts at Aire Serv of Nashua and Salem. The most common heat pump repairs we see include refrigerant leaks and ice buildup on the outdoor unit. Some frost is normal when the system is in cooling mode, but it should periodically run a defrost cycle to clear it. When your unit ices over and stays that way, there could be a problem with the controls, sensors, or refrigerant system. Don’t hesitate to reach out at the first sign of abnormality!
