Although most people overlook the heat pump system unless a problem arises, a faulty heat pump can cause excessive energy use, and you may not know it until you get your electric bill. However, having your system checked regularly will see it increase its efficiency, prolong lifespan, and save you money. Here are a few things to check during the maintenance process:
Clean the Air Filters
For optimal functioning of your heat pump, air must be able to move unobstructed throughout your home. This can be a concern if you have dirty or clogged filters.
Examine Your Thermostat
It's essential to ensure that your thermostat is functioning properly. That's because if damaged, you've no way of setting the temperature in your home.
Lubrication Is Key
Heat pumps have some moving components that can wear and tear over time. You can prolong the lifespan of these parts by examining them periodically and ensuring that they are well lubricated.
Take a look at the Heat Exchanger
Heat exchanger powers the movement of air inside and outside your home. If it's not working, neither will the heat pump. You should thus have a technician inspect the heat exchanger to ensure that it's operational (you can consult the services of a qualified HVAC technician).
Examine Electrical Connections
Defective electrical connections make the functioning of the system unsafe and lower its lifespan. Thus, ensure that all wires- both outside and inside your home-are hooked up correctly.
