Heat Pump Repairs
Heat pumps provide you with one of the most environmentally friendly heating and cooling systems in New Jersey. They do not burn fossil fuels but instead use electricity to transfer heat from the outdoors to your home—and vice versa.
They can handle our cold winters along the South Jersey Shore, able to deliver warmth to your home in subfreezing temperatures. Heat pumps operate like an air conditioner in the summer, removing heat and humidity from your Egg Harbor Township home
But like any machine with moving parts, they are susceptible to the occasional repair. When that happens, give Comfort Now a call. Our NATE-certified repair team can tackle any repair problem in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industry.
NATE stands for North American Technician Excellence—it lets you know our team has the necessary expertise and training when working with this type of sophisticated equipment.
Heat Pump Repairs in Egg Harbor Township
Here are a few of the most common repair problems with heat pumps:
- Low refrigerant levels: when refrigerant levels run too low, your heat pump will struggle. We can send out a professional to recharge your system.
- Thermostat problems: if your heat pump runs continuously, there could be a wiring issue creating miscommunication between your thermostat and system. You can trust our professionals to diagnose and address this issue.
- Broken reversing valve: the valve reverses the refrigerant and allows your system to act as an air conditioner and furnace. A professional will need to replace this component.
- Broken compressor contractor: this part controls how much power goes to your heat pump. A damaged compressor contractor can cause your heat pump to run continuously. You’ll need a professional to replace it.
What Is the Average Life Expectancy of a Heat Pump?
Heat pumps typically last anywhere from 15 to 25 years, depending on the maintenance. With any piece of machinery, preventative maintenance goes a long way toward your equipment reaching its expected lifespan.
Should I Repair or Replace My Heat Pump?
Whether it’s a furnace or a heat pump, if the equipment is over 10 years old and the repair is significant, it makes more sense financially to replace it. What you most want to avoid is an unexpected breakdown with your heat pump or furnace in the middle of winter when it will prove costly and inconvenient to replace.
