Heat Pump Repairs in Sonoma
Heat pumps easily rank among the most efficient heating and cooling solutions in Sonoma. These all-in-one appliances offer reliable, year-round comfort control. Best of all, in the right operating conditions, some can produce four times as much heating and cooling energy as they consume in electric energy.
To experience these benefits, it’s important to schedule twice-yearly tune-up services, regularly replace your HVAC air filter, and schedule timely repairs. Neglecting to fix even minor heat pump issues can increase your HVAC system’s energy use, diminish your indoor air quality (IAQ), and lead to premature equipment failure.
There are several common heat pump problems to look out for.
- Refrigerant leaks
- Short cycling
- Overheating
- Frequent circuit breaker trips
- Poor humidity control
Many heat pump repairs are the result of incorrect or insufficient maintenance. Trapped debris, malfunctioning thermostats, and blocked heat pump condensate drains are several issues that you can avoid with routine service.
During heat pump repairs, our team tests, cleans, and calibrates all aspects of these systems. We look for problems with heat pump reversing valves, evaporator and condenser coils, blower motors, electrical connections, and more. Accurately diagnosing heat pump issues limits the costs of heat pump repairs and hastens the return to efficient performance.
The average lifespan of a heat pump is between 15 and 20 years. If technicians have sized yours correctly, properly installed it, and carefully maintained it, your heat pump could last much longer. However, with year-round use and high demand, some models last just one decade. When a heat pump is old and its manufacturer’s warranty has aged out, major repairs often necessitate heat pump installation services. Fortunately, if you need a heat pump replacement, we can take care of that, too.
