A non-functioning heat pump usually manifests in inconsistent temperature. When the thermostat reads 72, but it feels 68, then your heat pump may be malfunctioning. Other signs that your heat pump may need to be repaired include:
How Heat Pumps Work
It sounds counterintuitive, but heat pumps are essential for cooling your home. Heat pumps can pull heat out of the air to cool a building as well as provide heated air for warmth in the winter months. A heat pump moves hot air from one place to another, extracting heat from the outside air and transferring it inside. In the summer months, it reverses direction and removes heat from the air, operating like an air conditioner.
Benefits of a Heat Pump
Besides the versatility of both heating and cooling, heat pumps are energy efficient. Typical savings for a heat pump can be as much as 30% over traditional furnaces. They also allow for tight climate control. Perhaps the biggest benefit is their safety - they operate without flames or hot surfaces. Gas heating or wood burners can injure pets and family members, but with a heat pump you dont have to worry about smoke or flames. Over time, heat pumps can actually improve air quality.
