A heat pump is like having a climate control superhero for your home. It handles both heating and cooling tasks efficiently, cutting down on your utility bills and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Think of it as a sophisticated version of your refrigerator: just as your fridge removes heat from inside and releases it into the kitchen, the heat pump does the same but on a larger scale. It extracts warmth from outdoor air in winter and expels heat from inside your home in summer, ensuring year-round comfort with maximum energy efficiency.
Adding a heat pump to your home’s heating system is like bringing in a super-efficient assistant to help manage your indoor climate. Think of it as a smart, energy-saving upgrade for your furnace, especially great for our mild West Coast weather.
Here’s how it works: while your trusty furnace stays cozy indoors, the heat pump sets up camp outside your home. It’s like having a climate control superhero stationed just outside.
When it’s chilly outside, the heat pump swings into action, pulling in heat from the outdoor air and transferring it inside to keep you warm and toasty. This process doesn’t involve burning fuel or creating heat from scratch, which makes it super energy-efficient and wallet-friendly.
But here’s where it gets even cooler: when summer rolls around and you’re craving that refreshing cool breeze indoors, the heat pump switches gears. It reverses its operation, extracting heat from inside your home and releasing it outside, effectively providing central air conditioning.
So, by adding a heat pump to your heating system, you’re not only cutting down on your heating bills during winter but also getting the bonus of central air conditioning during the hot months. It’s like getting two comfort upgrades in one!
When your heat pump has dirty air filters, dirty coils, or is blocked by other dirt and debris, its blower motor can slow, which will cause poor airflow. If your Vancouver, BC home is particularly dusty and/or taking awhile to heat, your heat pump may be suffering.
Heat pumps are naturally noisy machines, but if you begin to hear loud banging, rattling, or screeching noises, this is a major red flag for your heat pump’s operation and you will need professional assistance from the repair experts at Ashton Plumbing Heating and Air Conditioning.
If you notice foul odors coming from your heat pump, you will need to contact Ashton Plumbing Heating and Air Conditioning right away. Musty and moldy smells indicate that there is a potential mold problem internally while burning smells indicate a major safety hazard. If you smell a burning smell coming from your heat pump, call Ashton Plumbing Heating and Air Conditioning immediately.
If your heat pump is running at full blast with a steady airflow and you’re still cold, then your heat pump is acting up and needs to be checked. The problem could be with the fan or fan motor. There might be some thermostat issues that have to be addressed.
It’s also possible that your heat pump’s electronic control board or PCB assembly is malfunctioning. The thermistor, which signals the main control board when to turn the compressor on or off, could be failing as well.
