Call it Murphy’s Law, or maybe just a little misfortune, but we sometimes see heat pump problems in Safford during the winter time, when they’re necessary to keep you warm. While you know the team at B&D Air Conditioning will forever be there ASAP when you require us for a heat pump repair, there are some things you can do to ensure a repair is necessary and save yourself some expenses if it’s not. We’ve collected this checklist of things to try before you give us a call.
- It may sound ridiculous, but make sure everything is switched “on”. We’ve been to several calls only to discover the thermostat or the heat pump itself is set to off.
- Is the thermostat set to heat? If yes, boost the temperature by five degrees to test if it switches on.
- If everything looks accurate, check your heat pump switch (if it has one) and test the fuses and circuit breaker that shield the extra heating element (if it has one).
- If the heat pump still hasn’t kicked on, revisit your thermostat.
- Try replacing the battery, if it has one.
- Is an obstruction causing your heat pump to breakdown?
- Check your air filters inside your air handler to confirm they’re not blocking things up.
- Are your room heating registers open and clear?
If you’ve moved through this checklist and you still need a heat pump maintenance check, call B&D Air Conditioning at 928-432-6018 and we’ll get your home back to the welcoming and cozy place you expect this time of year.
