Signs Your Ducted Heat Pump Needs Repair

  • Inconsistent Temperatures: Uneven heating or cooling could signal airflow issues, thermostat malfunctions, or refrigerant leaks.
  • Unusual Noises: Rattling, grinding, or buzzing sounds indicate worn-out components or motor issues.
  • Frequent Cycling: If your system turns on and off frequently, it could have thermostat problems or an overworked compressor.
  • Weak Airflow: Poor airflow may result from clogged filters, ductwork leaks, or blower motor issues.
  • Rising Energy Bills: A sudden increase in heating or cooling costs suggests your system is running inefficiently.
  • Ice Buildup on Coils: Frozen evaporator or condenser coils point to low refrigerant levels or airflow restrictions.
  • Foul Odors: Musty or burning smells coming from vents may indicate mold, electrical issues, or clogged drain lines.

Ignoring these signs can lead to more expensive repairs and higher energy costs. Our expert HVAC technicians can diagnose and fix any heat pump problem to restore comfort in your home.
