Call it Murphy’s Law, or maybe just a little misfortune, but we sometimes see heat pump problems in Safford during the colder seasons, when they’re necessary to keep you toasty. While you know the team at B&D Air Conditioning will always be there ASAP when you require us for a heat pump repair, there are some things you can do to ensure a repair is needed and save yourself some money if it’s not. We’ve gathered this checklist of things to try before you give us a call.
- It may sound strange, but make sure everything is turned “on”. We’ve been to several calls only to realize the thermostat or the heat pump itself is turned off.
- Is the thermostat switched to heat? If yes, raise the temperature by five degrees to test if it turns on.
- If everything looks accurate, inspect your heat pump switch (if it has one) and check the fuses and circuit breaker that shield the extra heating element (if it has one).
- If the heat pump still hasn’t turned on, revisit your thermostat.
- Try changing the battery, if it has one.
- Is an impasse causing your heat pump to not work?
- Check your air filters inside your air handler to ensure they’re not jamming things up.
- Are your room heating registers open and clear?
If you’ve worked through this checklist and you still need a heat pump fix, 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.
