Quality Heat Pump Service in Nashville

Quality Heat Pump Repair and Replacement in Nashville

Not only can an electric heat pump raise the temperature in your home in Nashville, it can cool it too. When compared to traditional heating systems—like a gas furnace—you’ll also likely have a reduced electrical bill.

Heat pumps accompany an air handler, which distributes air throughout your home. While an air handler might look like a furnace, it doesn’t make heat through fuel combustion. However, some air handler models may have secondary electric heating or cooling parts to back up the heat pump.

When you need heat pump service or heat pump repair, call Donelson Air Service Experts. We can work on any type of heat pump. Our technicians are NATE-certified, which means they are among the top in the HVAC industry when it comes to heating and cooling.

And like all our other work, our services for heat pump systems are backed by a one-year 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.*

Poor Maintenance Can Cost You
An insufficiently maintained system can cost you. On average, an ignored heat pump can eat up 10 to 25 percent more energy, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. It’s also more likely to stop working or not last as long.

When your HVAC system isn’t providing the best home heating or isn’t working in a reliable manner, try our troubleshooting list below.

No heat. Check your thermostat is switched to “on” and “heat.” Next, make sure a circuit breaker hasn’t tripped. Recently installed a new thermostat? Make sure it’s a model appropriate for heat pumps and wired properly.

Insufficient heat. Dirty filters, fan and coils can reduce airflow and harm your system. Swap your filter once a month, clean the unit’s coils and fan, and clear yard debris that may have built up around it. Your system may also have blocked air ducts, faulty valves or poor refrigeration flow.

Cold air instead of heat. Air from a heat pump won’t be as warm as a forced air furnace. But if the air still seems too chilly, set the thermostat to emergency heat and at least 5 degrees above the room temperature. If you get warm air, there may be an issue with your outdoor unit. Cold air means there’s probably an issue with your thermostat or air handler. Your system may have also gone into defrost mode to prevent icing up. If you see frost or ice on the outdoor coil, your unit may have a defective defroster timer or control module, or it could need refrigerant.

Heat pump turns on and off frequently. Replace your air filter and then check your thermostat, because it may need to be adjusted or need new batteries. If it’s cold and your system is working continuously, the thermostat may be set too high. Also, some heat pumps don’t work well around 25 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit.

Rattling, grinding or squealing noises. If you hear rattling, try tightening the cover panels. If you hear grinding or squealing, switch off your system and call Donelson Air Service Experts. This could suggest a serious problem.
